New Carlisle Indiana Post Office

Ever walk into a room where everyone is staring at you? This is exactly what happened on my visit to the New Carlisle, Indiana Post Office.

Apparently the building closes for lunch so people were lined up in the lobby waiting for it to re-open.

Funny thing is I wasn’t really paying attention and when I entered the lobby everyone just sort of went quiet and stared at me. I must have looked suspicious or something carrying a camera and tripod in my arms. When I started looking around I guess people must have thought to themselves “what is this guy up to?.” I ignored the stares and nobody said anything to me. I took my pictures and left.

The building was dedicated in 1964 while Lyndon B Johnson was president. John A Gronouski was postmaster general.

Digging through the archives again I came across pictures from the Goulds Florida post office. Looking at this one I wish I would have been more interested in the interiors. I bet this one has character inside, I always look on the bright side. At least I have a reason to go back and visit.

Once again, thanks dad for talking my picture at this one.

Monclova Ohio Post Office

Looking for the historic former Monclova Post Office?

Today I went for a walk. It was after dinner and I needed to stretch my legs. This holiday weekend I’m at my girlfriends parents house in Ohio. I’m excited because this will be my first article of an Ohio post office.

So I jumped on the bike trail next to their house. I wasn’t sure how long it was going to take to get there. I arrived just before dark and took a few pictures. The lobby was closed but I could see the dedication plaque on the wall inside. I’ll have to come back to get a good picture of it. I’m sure I’ll be back in the future so I wasn’t disappointed in not getting all the pictures I usually take.
