The Almira State Bank was organized in 1902. It was sold to the National Bank of Commerce in July, 1948. We have no information as to how long ago the last bank left the building nor when the post office moved in.
Judging from the style of the building and the corbeling in the brickwork, the building was quite likely built for the Almira State Bank at or around the time of its incorporation. It is a relatively simple single storey brick building with Roman Revival archways over the windows and the angled corner entrance. All windows, and the entrance, once had glass filled arched transoms which have since been bricked in, as have the northerly two windows on the building's west side. These can be seen in the old photo we have found, likely taken shortly after completion of the building. As well, the name, "Almira State Bank", can be seen over the entrance and in the front window.

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.
