Celebrating our Nation's Post Offices
ADDRESS: 8223 199th Ave., Bristol, Wisconsin 543104
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,

ADDRESS: 437 E. La Salle Ave., Barron, Wisconsin 54812
If I remember correctly we stopped at this post office on our way home from a summer vacation last year.
What do you know about Barron? Anything interesting about this post office? Do you work here? Was this the first post office established in Barron? Does anyone know if there is an earlier building in town?
Thanks,

ADDRESS: 415 Conant Street., Maumee, Ohio 43537
ARTIST: Rudolph Scheffler
TITLE: Communication
MEDIUM: Oil on canvas (mural)
STATUS: The former Maumee post office is no longer an active, operating postal facility. It is now home to the local business. However, there are reports the mural still resides in the building. It previously resided in the mail lobby on the wall above the former postmaster’s office.
YEAR: 1936
I was confused when I visited Maumee, I had originally though this was still an active post office. The records that I have been checking stated it does have a mural. unfortunately, I have been unable to find any further information regarding the where-a-bouts of it.
Does anyone out there happen to know if the mural still resides inside the old post office? When I visited it was during Thanksgiving holiday and whatever business is located here was closed. Darn I said to myself. I’ll be back in the area again soon I hope. I’ll have to plan my visit more carefully.
Thanks,
David W. Gates Jr.
