The building north of the tracks — to the right of the gas station in the 1962 photo — has been demolished and replaced by the City Hall. In 1962 a gallon of gas cost $0.31.
I am researching a murder case in Ainsworth, probably the only murder in Ainsworth's entire history. (The shooting at the Chester home doesn't count — that was self-defense.) I also want to start assembling historic images of railroad depots on the Grand Trunk Railroad between Fort Gratiot, Michigan, and Chicago, Illinois. So much I want to do, so little time!

That building you mention on the right was the Nickle Plate Garage. I remember when I was about 7yo, going by it on my way to the Art theater.
Thanks for the ID! I'd heard of the Nickel Plate Garage, but didn't know where it was.
