ADDRESS: 321 E. Kenilworth Ave., Villa Park, Illinois 60181

Another historic building for sale. I never come across any sources, as this building ever having artwork, but it still pains me to see these wonderful old buildings for sale. I visited in January of this year hoping to get it photographed before it potentially disappears for good. If only I could get inside to see if the lobby has anything interesting.

Can anyone help me out? Is there stuff inside to see? I really just curious and would like to see it since its vacant anyway.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.

Hello Lombard, I’m fighting to find kind words to really get people excited about this one? Or maybe its just a lost cause. But here is the photo of the day. The Lombard Illinois Post Office. I had to stop and check out those very large blue letters.

UNITED STATES POST OFFICE, in the computer world this is equivalent to yelling at someone. I don’t know what brought this up but its one of the first things I though when I first saw it.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.

ADDRESS: 757 Du Page Blvd., Glen Ellyn, Illinois 60137

Quite different from its downtown sibling, is the Glen Ellyn Illinois Post Office. Another bitterly cold day in January when I visited. Have you been to this post office? What can you tell me about it? Stay tuned for the historic downtown Glen Ellyn Post Office.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.
