Marion Freight House This was in the last days for the freight house, but you can tell by the 5 doors that it had been a busy place at one time. The two pipes at the right of the picture were for the scales to weight cars. When the Crosley automobile, was built in Marion after WWII, they would bring them down to the freight house and load them in box cars. Ted Tobin Collection

Love these time period photos-old soda machines, phone booth, newspaper stand, and even the ice machine! All great details of yesteryear!
