ADDRESS: 4479 Lawn Ave., Western Springs, IL 60558

Today’s featured post office is Western Springs. Even though I’m from Illinois, I’m still amazed at the towns and places. As the Illinois tourism states “Mile after Magnificent mile”.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.

La Grange Illinois Post Office

ADDRESS: 121 W. Hillgrove Ave., La Grange, IL 60525

I can’t tell you how long I waited on this Saturday in October of 2013 to get these photos. Apparently La Grange is a busy place and this particular Saturday it was no different. Every time a car pulled away, another car pulled up. It was almost like people knew I wanted this shot and were doing everything they could to prevent me from getting it.

What a great building. I’d like to know more about it. It appears the corner-stone was re-done. It just looks to new to me. What do you think? Do you know if the corner-stone was re-done after the 1940’s.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.

ADDRESS: 109 Symonds Dr., Hinsdale, Illinois 60521

Today’s featured post office is Hinsdale. Kinda rough around the edges. Meaning it could use some paint and some TLC.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.
