I have started work on the team track/uptown area which will have a small coal yard where house coal is sold as well as a warehouse and a lumber yard.
The building that was a ware house had, what I believe, was an outside freight elevator. The original building was for storing pottery and straw, which was used to pack the pottery ware. There was a covered loading dock and I am betting the ware was brought on the elevator from the upper levels on the 4 wheeled carts that could be pulled right into the box cars where the ware could be packed for shipping. In the early fifties the building was converted to a very large hardware store, and they warehoused just about anything that they could turn a dollar on. On my pike they recieve everything they sell by rail
