Celebrating our Nation's Post Offices
ADDRESS: 801 W. Algonquin RD., Algonquin Illinois 60102
This one is close to home, I’m just now going through some old photographs and posting one’s I’ve either overlooked or just never got too. This facility also servers the Lake In The Hills community.
Thanks,

Just another stop from my two-day road trip back in February 2012. I was pleasantly surprised there was a dedication plaque in the lobby. Most of the buildings of this style don’t have plaques. It was great to see on here.

The odd thing about this one is there is not sign on the windows or building. Most post offices have the name of the city or town on the window or building. This one did not have either. In fact when I was going through my pictures I had to look at the dates and map in order to figure out which one this was.
One drawback to taking road trips and taking lots of pictures is that sometime you forget which ones are which. So this leads me to ask the question. Why is it that some towns have a name plaque or sign indicating the name of the town and others do not? Do you happen to know? I’d like to hear your comments below.
Thanks,
