Cedar Grove Wisconsin Post Office

ADDRESS: 103 W. Wisconsin Ave., Cedar Grove, Wisconsin 53013

What may not be noticeable in the few pictures I have is that the Cedar Grove post office is right among residential homes. It’s almost as though this corner should have been a single family ranch. I stopped on the other side of the street got out of my car and waited. A few people were walking into and out of the post office while I was there. So what do you think of my photographs? Was it worth the wait? Are you impressed?

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.

Catawba Wisconsin Post Office

I hate to even say it or think it, but it appears this is the typical post office slated for closure. It would be a shame, it has so much character. The look and feel of times past is so prevalent.

I’ve often wondered what the name Catawba means. I ran across another Catawba in Virginia when I was hiking in 2007. Feel free to share your profound knowledge here.

Thanks,

It must have been a Sunday or the post office was closed for lunch when I visited. It did have a dedication plaque. Check out the picture below taken through the front windows. Gotta love it.

Thanks,
