I figured you might get it right as you were scouting pretty close by on the Miller one :)
A google search for

"white oaks" medical building michigan

had a really nice match for me to look at :D

Then when I saw it was Lawton, I knew someone else would get it PDQ.
Yes, indeed, it's Lawton, MI, looking northwest along the old Pere Marquette RR line ROW that ran up to Paw Paw, Lawrence and Hartford. That section between Lawton and Paw Paw was ripped up in 1907. White Oak Road can be seen in the foreground. It west of M-40. White Oaks Assisted Living facility can be seen in the background at right. Passenger train on the former Pere Marquette RR line between Hartford and lawton, was discontinued many, many years ago. All in Lawton, Van Buren County.

Old spur line to the Rifkin Scrap Iron and Metal Co. yard, crossing W. Genesee Avenue, looking south to the scrap yard off the connection with the Huron and Eastern RR in Saginaw, Saginaw County. The building across the street is the Mid Michigan Children Museum.

How about more shorelines in Michigan, Coopersville and Marne, Michigan Southern, Indiana Northeastern, Grand Rapids Eastern , the Ann Arbor Railroad or the Indiana and Ohio railroads> It's not of these aforementioned lines above, hints please.

Yes, indeed, it's Williams Street, looking east across the former GR&I, former Pennsy, former Penn Central, now Michigan Southern. in Sturgis, St. Joseph County. it between Grove Street and S. Jefferson Street. Just a block south of W.Chicago Road (US-12). Final run of the remaining passenger train on the former Pennsylvania RR line between Fort Wayne, IN and Mackinaw City was made on Friday, September 1, 1961 (Fridays only northbound) and Tuesday, September 5, 1961 (Sundays only southbound).
