Celebrating our Nation's Post Offices
ADDRESS: 119 E. Main St., Alvordton, Ohio 43501
Another post office visited during a November road trip last year. Silly name I have no idea how to pronounce it do you?
Thanks,
David W. Gates Jr.
ADDRESS: 131 South Main Street, Ada, Ohio 45810
ARTIST: Albert Kotin
TITLE: Country Dance
MEDIUM: Oil on canvas (mural)
STATUS: The Ada post office is still an active, operating facility and the mural can be viewed by interested members of the public. The mural resides in the lobby on a wall above the postmaster’s door.
YEAR: 1940
The Ada, Ohio Post Office visit is another example of discovery. When I asked at the front desk about the mural the postal employee immediately went to get the postmaster. We chatted for a few minutes about the mural and building.
She also informed me of a local person who wrote an article about Ada that included some information about the old Post Office. This is valuable information and something I hope with a little more time would be able to investigate further in the future.
Do you know more about this one?
Thanks for stopping by

Today is the beginning of my Ohio marathon of post offices. Back in November of last year I visited Ohio. The day after Thanksgiving I decided to skip the shopping and visit as many post offices as I could.
For the next month or so I’ll be highlight all the ones I was able to get during this visit. Do you have a favorite post office in Ohio? Which one is it? I’m making my list of one’s I’d like to visit this year.
Thanks,
