Newport, Kentucky 41071 - {Spence Station} - U.S. Post Offices on Waymarking.com

For years I thought "Spence Station" was some kind of postal term, but I recently found that this part of Newport was called Spence at one time. This may be a neighborhood name, but I believe it derives from Brent Spence, a former Kentucky congressman from the area. It's a small p.o., and I would think it's use would be called into question because of the larger facility a few blocks away. Newport is a city of 17,000+ and in past days served as an illicit playground for the Greater Cincinnati area, hence the nickname, Sin City.

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.
