Look at the bottom edge of the photo, locate the church to the right of the Wabash Bridge. Look up and slightly to the left of the church. You'll see an arrow pointing at a multi-story building. I suspect that's the Kelly & Jones Co. building, a suspicion confirmed by the 1905 Sanborn Fire Insurance map.

The large shed on the right side of the photo is th eP&LE station's train shed.
