The Silas Herring-David Parker grocery store, 6 North Main Street ca. 1890 (MHC# 13) on the site of an earlier general store. A post office was added to its street elevation in 1905 and stagecoaches stopped here as well as at the hotel down the street. Circa 1880 Edward Hitchcock’s meat market was constructed at 17 Main Street as a commercial building. Hitchcock lived next door in the Pliny Spaulding House (now gone) and moved the meat market from the Spaulding house basement to the new building.

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.
