The Wheeler Federal Building at 224 W. Evergreen is a large 2-story red brick building with a flat roof, constructed from 1917-1919. There are two entrances facing south which have 8-step staircases. A large handicap ramp has been added.

The single windows (except flanking the entrance where they are double), are tall units with horizontal panes, and tilt-out window openings. The second floor windows have a continuous stone sill/belt course. Large cast stone medallions are located above the main entrance on the second level.

Once housing the post office, this building is still owned by the City of Duncan and several departments such as the Bureau of Investigation and Emergency Management office 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.
