Manville, Rhode Island 02838 - U.S. Post Offices on Waymarking.com

The Manville Post Office is located within part of the building at 30 Railroad Street, Manville, Rhode Island. The 8,800 square-foot, two-story structure resembles many of the multi-family houses of the neighborhoods in the immediate vicinity. It sits on a half-acre sized lot which includes a shared a parking lot for a laundromat.

Distinctive exterior features of the Manville Post office include the blue-over-white siding and a 24' x 8' open air porch with a roof supported by five natural wood posts. Two sets of steps and a ramp offer access to the covered walkway. A large Community Bulletin Board takes up the space between two windows along the wooden porch. The white-washed notice board is coated with local event flyers, business cards, and general paper ephemera some of which have been weathering the elements for several years.

The well-aged oak front door, with its glass window and brass hardware, leads visitor to a humble lobby full of warm wood character. Two clerk windows are framed by sturdy millwork. A set of a few hundred post office boxes with worn bronze doors are along the wall to the right and it's adjacent wall.

Though small in size, the full-service location is staffed by uncommonly friendly folks who greet patrons often by name and always with a smile.

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.
