An example of Italianate-style company construction in cut granite is the Manchaug Company Store/Community Hall, 356 Manchaug Road (ca. 1868, SUT.185). Two stories on a raised basement with a low-pitched gable roof of asphalt shingle, this rough-faced, cut-granite building is ten bays across—with entries originally in the first, third, sixth, and tenth bays of the façade—and five bays deep. Some entries have been infilled. Additional entries are located at the basement on the east elevation and the first story on the west elevation, where an arched opening leads to the Community Hall upstairs. Window bays are longer on the first story than those on the second story; all have granite lintels and sills, and contain replacement 1/1 sash. Overhanging wood eaves and gable returns are trimmed with modillions. This building served a variety of uses in the village: as a general or country store,
post office, and community hall, as well as the location of Masses for St. Anne’s Roman Catholic Church from 1927 to 1952. The building is currently in commercial use.

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.
