The Monroe Federal Building and Courthouse at 201 Jackson Street, Monroe, Louisiana is located in the downtown Monroe Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The entrance to the courthouse faces Jackson Street, and there is public parking on many of the surrounding streets.
The courthouse is a four-story building comprised of over 45,000 square feet, and was built in 1933 by the Works Progress Administration, a U.S. government work force consisting of citizens that were out of work. These men used A-model vehicles to hoist sandstone, brick and mortar to construct this structure. The original inside walls were made of plaster, most of which has been replaced by gypsum wallboard

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.
