Here are two aerial shots of the Fingerle Lumber Co. from the same collection.

This is a large complex that fits neatly into a triangle space between tracks and streets. Would make an interesting scene on a layout.

I sent the photo to a friend of mine who is a big U of M fan and grad, (along with her hubby) at 6 years she was crossing those tracks to go to the games.  She attached a little of what became of the lumber co.
