former Chilhowee, Missouri 64733 - U.S. Post Offices on Waymarking.com

"Built in 1907 as the Farmers Bank, this one-story rectangular brick building remained a bank until 1927 when a depressed economy resulted in a merger with the town's other bank, the Chilhowee Bank. Subsequently, this building became the post office and, most recently, a restaurant. Architecturally, this building is noteworthy for its elaborate brickwork. Both the recessed double-leaf entrance (transomed) and recessed display window have semi-circular arches with radiating voussoirs. The parapet is filled with detailing, beginning with a double-coursed dentil at the highest point of the parapet. A row of corbeled semi-circular arches with voussoirs follows. Below that is a band of diamond-patterned brickwork. The brick mason is unknown but may have been James White of Leeton, Mo. The exterior of this interesting building is essentially unaltered. The original metal awning is present. Integrity is retained."

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.
