Roy,

Before 1910 when the new station opened, the freight house was the passenger station. My dad took a couple of photos in the late 1930s that still show the freight house at that time. I think the freight house was torn down just before WWII. It wasn't there after the war.

This has nothing to do with newspapers but about the freight house at Downers.  Even though I grew up there, I never knew where the freight house was.  Here is a photo from the Downers Grove Reporter looking west in 1935 showing the Main St. station and the freight house to the west.  Another mystery in my life is solved.
