Today’s featured post office is Butler Wisconsin. This looks to be a newer post office. Had the classic new logo design and feel.
Thanks,

Welcome to another awesome Wisconsin Post Office. Today’s featured building is Lancaster. I’m delighted to finally be able to bring this one to you. I’ve had to visit this one a total of 3 times in order to get inside and photograph the mural. The hard work and dedication has paid off, as I’ve got some great photos to show you in the gallery below.
The first time I visited was on a Sunday and they do not keep the lobby open. So I returned from another trip on a Saturday but showed up after business hours. I finally set aside a Saturday morning and made a specific trip just to get inside and see the mural. All that driving and repeat visits is what you see below.
Enjoy!

Today’s featured post office was another one along the great river road trip we took in the summer of 2013. I though the red paint on the building was an interesting shade of red. Really stands out.
Thanks,
