"39. 516 Court Street, 1882. Though historically separate businesses, the buildings at 512, 514 and 516 Court Street were constructed at the same time and have a unified design to the upper stories. This 2+ story building has a faux mansard covered in gray and green slate. The mansard area has round arched dormers with louvered vents. 516 has three segmental windows with heavy keystones. The window openings have been filled in with wood siding. A corrugated metal panel covers the transom area and a flat canopy stretches across the storefront. The storefront is modern, though it retains traditional storefront pattern. [C]

This building originally housed a post office, jewelry store and milliner's shop. By 1917, it housed a music store and photography studio." ~ NRHP Nomination form

Changes: The first-floor has been altered and is treated variously with either brick or corrugated aluminum siding Important features: The façade begins with a grey and greenish slate area with round arched louvered vents; it resembles a mansard roof; unfortunately tar from a re-roofing has been dripped on some of the shingles on the left (N) side.

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.
