Not too long ago, I wrote about the Crown Point Indiana post office and how I arrived very early in the morning. The sun was just rising and my photos turned out dark.

Well today I’m writing about the other end of the day. The sun had already set, but I arrived in Jasper and wanted my exterior photographs. That is what you see in this article. It was late and I was exhausted from a full day of driving around Indiana. Jasper was my final stop for the day. I headed home after this one during my September 26, 2021 road trip.

I’m delighted the lobby was open and I was also able to photograph and enjoy their wonderful mural.
