Coldwater was another stop at the very end of my road trip in October of 2022. It was hard to get a good photo with the sun setting behind the building. I imagine I’ll be back to retake this one in the future, but for now, here is what I have.
I love the golden eagle above the front entrance. In addition the gold lettering is rich also. I wonder who’s idea it was to paint it gold?
Very nice mural which comes down on either side of the postmaster’s door.
