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,

Former Heber Springs Arkansas Post Office

Heber Springs Former Post Office 72543
Heber Springs Former Post Office 72543

ADDRESS: 102 E Main St., Heber Springs, Arkansas, 72543
ARTIST: H. Louis Freund
TITLE: From Tiber to Agriculture
MEDIUM: Mural
STATUS: No longer a post office, this building is the local historical center. The mural resides in what was the original lobby above the former postmaster’s door.
YEAR: 1939

I had a wonderful time visiting and photographing this one. It was a weekday and I was initially the only visitor so the volunteers had ample time to share their impressive collection in their small museum.

You name escapes me now that it’s 3 months later. But I really enjoyed our conversation and you showing me around. Bonus that we also took a visit to the basement of this old building.

Sort of a behind the scene. I love these old buildings and jump at any chance that someone is able to share it with me.
