I am betting this is the Corner of Main and Court Streets in Burlington, Ia
Sadly nothing is there now.

Yeah, Kinda fun flying around on google maps locating landmarks past and present. I think you are spot on with your guess at the exact intersection. The brick building is there as is the old post in front which was bearing the Illinois sign (see pic). If you back up the street a bit, you can spot the fireplug situated next to an old post base which would be the one that had the Court street sign.
