This 1962 grey-scale image of the Ellsworth Depot doesn't allow the red color to show. Of course, the second story was removed in the early 1950s because the station master and his family no longer lived there.
The Ellsworth Farmers Co-op and Grain Elevators are seen on the east side of the southern end of Main Street. (Most of these images may be enlarged with a click.) The grain elevators have always been an important part of Ellsworth.

Station, the Car Wash, Kuhl's Recreation,

Telephone Offices
Here you see the former home which held the telephone switchboard. The sign on the front of this phone building (the telephone office) indicates that the switchboard, seen today in the Library's back room, was used here. At right, the Turkey Hatchery, and Thoreson's Hardware Store are also seen. The former home was later replaced by the new Ellsworth
Cooperative Telephone Association building.
