NRHP Nomination FormThroughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, Jacksonville's post office occupied four different temporary locations, all of which were leased from store and building owners.
Construction of the this Jacksonville Post Office progressed fairly rapidly. The majority of the workmen were locals, and all of them had been starved for work. By the end of February 1933, most of the exterior work had been done, and the newspaper predicted that the building could be open by June 1.
On September 19, 1933, the old post office closed early to complete the move into their new home, and on September 20, the new Jacksonville Post Office was officially opened for business.
The 1933 Jacksonville Post Office continued to serve the community through the remainder of the 20th century, but was eventually vacated by the Postal Service in 2000."

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.
