77520 - Station A - Baytown, TX - U.S. Post Offices on Waymarking.com

Built during the New Deal Era, it's a wonder why this building is not on the New Deal list. The supervising architect was Louis A. Simon:

"In 1934, Simon was appointed as the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department, a position that he retained until his retirement in 1941. During his tenure, Simon designed and oversaw hundreds of projects, ranging from major buildings such as the IRS Building in Washington D.C., to small border stations along the Canadian border in Vermont. Simon also designed several courthouse and post office facilities, including buildings in Erie City, Pennsylvania; Columbia, Tennessee; Dublin, Georgia; and Cincinnati, Ohio."
From: Louis A. Simon, Architect (visit link)

Across town is the former Goose Creek Post Office (visit link) which is also bears Simon's name. It has multiple entries on the internet. Unfortunately, this building has no information readily available.

It appears that the building has had little alterations since it was built in 1936. The exterior is buff brick, with large windows across the front. The interior is typical of a post office of the 1930s. There are only two service windows, both have bars on them preventing patrons from physically touching the postal workers. The mail drop slots are brass with wood.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.

A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
