Westerville Former Post Office 43082
Westerville Former Post Office 43082

ADDRESS: 28 South State Street, Westerville, Ohio 43081
ARTIST: Olive Nuhfer
TITLE: The Daily Mail
MEDIUM: Oil on canvas (mural)
STATUS: The mural that once resided here has been moved to the newer post office facility on McCorkle Blvd.
YEAR: 1935

I had no idea this one was up for lease. Apparently, the local police were in the building until recently. Someone purchased it and is renting it out. It was closed when I visited. I’d love to see the inside.

I waited around for this one to open to find out if the mural was here. Unfortunately, it was moved to the McCorkle Blvd location.

Interesting that there was an old photograph in the lobby of this one. I wasn’t expecting that at all. Unfortunately, I didn’t feel like taking the time to wait in line to ask a clerk. I took my photos and was on my way.

I did however, ask a person standing in the parking lot smoking a cigarette. He did not know the area and was not familiar with the photo in the lobby.

It started to rain while I was driving past this one. There was also a big truck that just pulled up as I was getting out of my car. I didn’t wait around. I took what pictures I could and was on my way.

STATUS: The New Concord post office is still an active, operating facility, and the mural can be viewed by interested members of the public. It resides in the lobby on the wall above the postmaster’s door.
YEAR: 1940

Another perfect photograph in New Concord, Ohio during my October 2022 road trip. What you don’t see is the gas station across the street. It was quit busy and I had a small audience watching me as I tried to film the show video clips I take for the front of the buildings. Fun times!
