This small storefront station is located on a busy shopping street in Park Slope, at 198 7th Avenue, Brooklyn. It is not the main station for zip 11215 -- that is the Van Brunt station on 9th Street between 4th and 5th Avenues.
Next door to the P.O. is a building on whose exterior is a sculpture -- the artist calls it a "drip," and from the photo you can see why -- titled "Four Eyes." It is by Mark Ravitz, whose studio and office is in that building. (

Rock fans of (ahem) a certain age may also be interested in the two businesses just south of the post office, one named "Eric" and the adjacent one named "Carmen." (What, you kids never heard of the lead singer of The Raspberries?!) One of them recently went out of business, though, so who knows how long the two names will remain on display next to each other on Seventh Avenue. (See photo here (

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.
