"The post office was constructed in 1914 and was designed by architect Oscar Wenderoth in the Neoclassical Revival style. (Photo 17) It is a one-story brick building with a flat roof. The front entrance pavilion is emphasized with brick pilasters supporting a classical entablature placed over round-arched openings and swag ornamentation. The brick of the front facade is laid in a diamond pattern. The building is still used as a post office." ~ NRHP Nomination Form

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.
