Another wonderful post office with a mural. Today’s featured building is Rice Lake Wisconsin. We lucked out with wonderful weather during our summer 2013 road trip. You gotta love it when a plan all comes together. Ok, maybe not a plan but at least the weather cooperated and I was able to get some great photos. It doesn’t take much to make me happy. Just great weather to photograph this old buildings. Is that so much to ask?
I almost forgot about the display case in the lobby of this one. It’s great to see other artifacts besides old photographs and newspaper clippings.
What do you know about this one?
Thanks,
David W. Gates Jr.
