From the historical plaque on the building:
The Old Federal Building
It was completed in 1903 and served as the Post Office from 1906-1965.
The three story (plus basement) building was constructed at an original
cost of $78,000 with a total floor space in excess of 20,000 sq ft. It was
constructed of hard-burned, dark red brick with white mortar and facings
of hard limestone with terra cotta cornices. The first floor is 16 feet high
and originally housed the Post Office. The second floor was devoted to
the US Court. The building is now owned by Boone County and houses
county and state-county funded offices.

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.
