Illinois Central Telegraph Office

These are photos of the Illinois Central telegraph office that was torn down in the 1970's. The telegraph office was located halfway between Fifth and Fourth Street on the Oak Street side of the tracks. The Illinois Central passenger station was torn down in the 1930's. Efforts to buy and preserve the last of the Illinois Central buildings were futile and Minonk lost another building that played a significant role in the history of the city.

The photos are the courtesy of Albin Johnson and Raymond Schneider.
