I’m disappointed to see this one in such a neglected state, but at lease the building is still standing. This also brings me to another goal of this blog. To highlight and document our disappearing post offices. This one is a classic example.

Once I got home and started to search for some other bits of information, I found out how difficult it was in finding quality historical data. This is where you can help. If you know when it was sold. What it’s being used for now, or any other interesting information I’d love to hear from you.

Thanks
