Fort Worth Star-Telegram"Text below picture:
The above is the new $500,000 Government building at Wichita Falls, opened Sunday, April 2, which houses the post office and federal officers. Of modernistic classical design, the structure faces 204 feet on Lamar, occupying the half block between Tenth and Eleventh Streets. It rises three stories to a height of 62 feet, about the equivalent of the average five-story building. It is one of the more imposing buildings of its kind in Texas and contains all the latest conveniences for the handling of mail. The offices are exceptionally well appointed."

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.
