1. Note the missing coal chute, missing electrical cage where the power lines enter from the street, the chimney has not been extended, the missing smaller building on the front of the Boiler Room, the center double doors are barely visible behind the stop sign, the flagpole is missing, and the very top center of the building has not been built up with brick yet.
2. Same as footnote 1 but in addition, the Main Office access is in the brick portion of the building towards the front of the automobile rather than the later added stairwell on the side. Also, notice the structure nearby the Main Office that was torn down probably when they bricked up the Main Office door and nearby windows.
3. It looks like the Main Office door and nearby windows were recently bricked up and the main double doors that entered at the center of the building are missing and painted over suggesting that had been done before. Also, this is the first appearance of the brick addition on the top center of the building.
4. Notice the coal chute, the old Main Office entrance and nearby windows have had a red paint job and that there is no pheasant in the empty space. Also, the company name painted on the front of the building has “…” after the word “Company…”. This is a good shot of the added stairwell on the side of the building for the Main Office.
5. The flag pole is now present along with some wooden posts along the top of the small hill on either side of the flag pole. The pheasant has been painted on the front of the building and it has a white cloud like background. At this point in the building’s timeline, there are four changes yet to come. A small building will be added to the front corner of the Boiler Room that would be on the right end of the building. An electrical cage will be added where the power lines enter from the street. The pheasant will be repainted without the white cloudy background. Finally, the chimney will be extended in 1955. Notice in the company name on the front of the building, “…” after “Company” has been removed.
6. Note the electrical cage top right side.
7. Note the pheasant no longer has the white cloudy background.
8. Some of the windows and doors are boarded up making this photo from about 1979. This would be about the time the Village of Sebewaing obtained the deed for the property and secured the building for eventual demolition.
9. This shows the chimney extension from 1955. Also, though hard to see, the electrical cage is here along with the smaller building off of the corner of the Boiler Room. The pheasant no longer has the white cloud background. Notice the large hole in the side of the Boiler Room where the boiler tank was removed for liquidation. The website administrator is looking for a high quality photo to replace this hard to view newspaper photo. It is just a matter of time!
