Oakland, OR 97462 (Historic) - U.S. Post Offices on Waymarking.com

This one-story brick building served as the U.S. Post Office for many decades (see historic photo showing post office signage, below). It was constructed shortly after the 1899 Oakland fire for Harvey James Mahoney. The building features decorative chimneys similar to the Page-Dimmick Building. It originally housed the Nonpariel Ice Cream parlor and later a telephone exchange. Harry E. Mahoney and his wife Ora served as postmaster for a time. In recent years, the post office moved to a different building on 2nd Street; this structure now houses and antiques and coin shop.

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.
