At 620 Shelby Street, the impressive former post office sits just off the TN/VA state line. It appears to have been converted into the Old Custom House for private offices and expensive apartments.
United States Post Office is clearly inscribed into the top of the building. See also National Register Waymark WM6B2X.
If someone wants to waymark the modern facility, it is just down the street and serves two different states - Bristol in TN and VA.

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.
