The post office is located at 302 Main Street. Mountain View is located in Kiowa County. A railroad came to within two miles of the town in 1899. It was a tent city known as Oakdale, and in 1900 the existing post office was renamed Mountain View, for the nearby Wichita Mountains. In 1903, the entire town was relocated to its present location.
This post office is a one-story brick building with a row of five large display windows, each with three panes, two of which are filled with opaque aqua panels. There is a single glass door with sidelight and transom. The post office is open Monday to Friday from 8:30-12:30; 1:30-4:00 and is closed on Saturday and Sunday. The lobby and post office boxes are available 24/7.

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.
