Don a quick search of the internet offers a few clues.

Doesn’t appear to be any Sanborn maps of the community, it was not incorporated until 2002. This history does mention the elevator, as well as other businesses.

I'm modeling the village of Millbrook, IL on the Fox River Branch in 1966.  One reason for choosing Millbrook is the fact that 3 of the 4 on-line structures as seen in a 1969 aerial photo are still standing (as of 2017).   There is a large grain elevator, a Quonset type of building (maybe feed store?) and in between is a simple structure that looks like a modest house, but must have been some type of business (there is a door on the track side).  
Can anyone please tell me the purpose of these structures, their business names and the loads they would receive?
Thanks!

Don Winn
