The C.M. Foss is surrounded by Scaffolding. Carpenters will stand on the scaffolding to work. Individual boards are used as the sheeting later to be covered with siding. Today this is the home of John and Joy Thomsen.
The train is pulled up to the elevators. The depot is also present on the right. The elevators are the Hendricks Farmers elevator, Sexaur's, Hendricks Coop Elevator and Jennison. Only the Hendricks farmers elevator exists today as the business but not the elevator building. Two tracks were present to allow a train to come through while railroad cars were standing to be loaded. Behind the depot on the right is the water tower for trains. The trains used the water to make steam to power the engine.

The Norwegian Lutheran Church is on the left. This church still remains as is but is the Methodist church. The church on the right is Trinity Lutheran Church. It remains today and looks the same.

This is a view from the Hendricks water tower looking east. The school faces Park street with the homes on Park Street looking very similar today. On each side of the school are the boys and girls outhouses. This building eventually burned down.
