Located at 150 North Scott Street (the northeast corner of Scott Street and Clinton Street), the downtown Joliet Post Office once served as the Main Post Office for the City of Joliet starting in 1903. (visit link)

Although it stopped being the Main Post Office in 1981 once a new, more modern facility was constructed, it still serves as a Post Office for the downtown businesses and residents.

Also in 1981, the Joliet Post Office was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. (visit link)

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.
