I&M Canal Toll Collectors House
Small 19th-century brick toll house beside the Illinois & Michigan Canal — strong subject for historic architecture, intimate details and canal reflections. Shoot the building with the towpath, stonework and lock remnants; seasonal trees and water create framing and color. Best at golden hour or blue hour for warm brick tones and mirror-like reflections; fall foliage and winter snow add character. Site is easily accessible from Columbus St with nearby parking; building is typically exterior-only
