Anyone familiar on the exact location on where this was located. Nothing available online to pinpoint the location.

Cheers!

That’s a pretty cool site . That old bank building is in much better shape than the new drug store next door lol.

I was at the Strathmore Station earlier this summer and they had loads of historic pictures.
I'm sure one or two of those pictures could tell the story.

the original town of strathmore burned down it was about 2-3 miles south of its current location so possably the rail station was down there

Is there a location for the original town? South could probably be in or around Eagle lake. Not too many per's in town can give an exact location.
