This old post office is now a seafood Restaurant. They named the restaurant for the former Secretary of the Treasury who originally had the building built. Pieces of equipment and machinery from the original Post Office have been reused to decorate the restaurant.
The post office in downtown served the community from 1915 to 1985 at which time, needing more space, it moved to Seguin St. where it remains. The old post office set vacant for 25 years until it was remodeled to be a restaurant.

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.
