I asked User:Ntsimp about the granary's location, and received great reply:

"I do prefer to be contacted at my user talk page, though I know I don't always respond. While writing a response telling you the Clarkston Tithing Granary is gone, I found it had been moved. The coordinates 41°55′05.5″N 112°02′50″W point (on Google Maps) directly to a bare patch of dirt between two houses on the street that is now known as 100 South (evidently Clarkston uses a local street grid nowadays instead of the county-wide one the property was listed with), but on the Street View (dated July 2013) you can see the roof of the granary above some bushes there. That's where our photo was taken in 2016. The granary's not there anymore; it was moved on September 8, 2018 (according to this news story among others). It's already showing at its new location on Google Maps; the new address is given as 88 W. Center St., and I make the coordinates 41°55′11.75″N 112°03′11″W. Thanks for asking; I love making this kind of discovery. HTH, Ntsimp (talk) 10:07, 14 October 2019 (UTC)". Now to see those: 41°55′05.5″N 112°02′50″W / 41.918194°N 112.04722°W / 41.918194; -112.04722 (original on 100 South) (original) vs. 41°55′11.75″N 112°03′11″W / 41.9199306°N 112.05306°W / 41.9199306; -112.05306 (new at 88 w center) (new). --Doncram (talk) 15:53, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Original location was in backyard of property on northeast corner of what are now (per Google maps) known as N 8700 W and W 10200 N. Google satellite view of now (copyright 2019) shows a bare spot; Google streetview date July 2013 shows the granary, mostly behind some shrubberies. And Bing satellite view of now (copyright 2019) shows the granary there. In property at northeast corner of streets labelled in Bing as E 100 S (the east-west street) and S 100 E (the north-south st). Street-naming now radiates out from intersection of east-west Center St. and north-south Main St.
For new location, Google satellite view of now (copyright 2019) shows on property at southeast corner of W. Center St. and S 100 W/N 8900 W., while July 2013-dated Streetview shows that as a lot with trees but vacant of any building. And Bing aerial view of now (copyright 2019) shows the lot with trees but no building. Bing Streetside not available. --Doncram (talk) 16:11, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
