The United States Court House, Customs House and Post Office was constructed beginning in 1905 and completed in 1907. The building was designed by prominent architectural firm of Marsh & Peter in a Beaux Arts Classicism style. Wheeling architect Frank Faris was the local architect overseeing the construction. The building has had several additions over the years as more space was needed. The building no longer functions as a post office but does house federal district court along with other federal courts and offices for several federal agencies.

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.
