My GF and I were out for a drive and doing a little shopping when I came across this one. I forgot my camera but had my phone so I just snapped a few quick photos.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.

ADDRESS: 115 S. Sciota St., Sibley, Illinois 61773

Another typical post office building. The charm here is the cobble stone street the length of Sciota St. in the heart of this little town.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.

How did I not include a write-up for this one? I must have over looked it. I’m sorry. Here is the Morrison, IL Post Office. Another gem in Illinois, the building is a classic WPA era design but no mural.

I enjoyed my visit here and had a weather for my road trip.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.
