ADDRESS: 306 Route 79, Annada, Missouri 63330

I almost drove right past this one and had to do a double take. We actually turned the car around because I thought it looked a lot like a post office.  I really didn’t know until we took a closer look. Sad to see that it was closed but with a population of only 29 in 2010, I can’t say I blame the USPS for closing it.

Does anyone out there know when it opened? Or when it closed. I didn’t see much else to this town that would even look to like a historical society or any other major services.

Thanks,

I felt out-of-place when I visited Old Monroe. It just seem liked one of those small industrial towns where not much was going on. I was happy to get this photo and glad I visited. I like the way the flag just sort of hangs out from the building. If you don’t have a flag pole you improvise. Excellent I said to myself as I stood outside admiring this small town building.

Thanks,
