Former Post Office - Broken Bow, OK - U.S. Post Offices on Waymarking.com

While we were carefully studying a ghost sign on the north side of the building at 121 N. Main, we were startled to find that the rear of this building had once been a post office. Its facade is covered with peeling paint from the drug store's former advertising.

The entrance faces 2nd Street, just west of Main. The post office was very plain, with a single entry door just off the sidewalk. Two narrow windows flanking the entrance have been bricked up, and flanking them are two larger display windows which are boarded.

On the upper wall above the entrance a stone panel has a recessed engraving reading "POST OFFICE". We have been unable to determine the date of this post office. A post office was established in Broken Bow on September 23, 1911. We found another former post office building in town dated 1946, so we suspect this post office building might be the one in use from 1911 to 1946.

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.
