“Between the 1850s and 1911, a livery stable and stone works occupied the north ed of this site, with the John Custer family home on the south corner. The present building was constructed for the US Post Office and various government offices, after the city of Winchester purchased the building in 1967, and a new city fire hall and police department was constructed at the rear in 1969, Winchester City Hall moved here in 1970”.

David,

Again, another non-New Deal post office building, but very cool indeed. Built in 1904 it also housed the Federal Building. Architect is George Hammond; architectural style is Beaux Arts. Added to National Register of Historic Places in 1988. The Zanesville PO I photographed appears vacant.

Best regards, Roger,

Cambridge Ohio Post Office

ADDRESS: 954 Wheeling Avenue, Cambridge, Ohio, 43725

David,

This is not a New Deal post office; however, it is a beautiful building completed in 1914. There is history associated with this site (according to a postal worker here) in that John Glenn reportedly signed up to join the US Army Air Corps after the attack on Pearl Harbor; the recruiting office was located in the post office. There is a mural inside the post office; however, it was completed in 1970. The building has been renamed in honor of John Glenn who was born in Cambridge, OH.

Best regards,

Roger
