Oak Park (South Station) Illinois Post Office

I know what your thinking, hey you made a mistake and put in a picture of an older dedication plaque for this newer building. There is no way this could be right.

Well folks, I have not lost my mind. I was thinking the same thing when I ran across this exact situation here in Oak Park South. The building is clearly not from the 1950’s but they must have taken the dedication plaque out of the old building and placed it in here.

So here is my question to you my loyal readers. Who done it? Do you know anything about it? Did you move the plaque? Do you know if this is indeed what happened? Or better yet, can you tell me what happened to the original building this dedication plaque once stood in? Did the old building stand here or was in somewhere else? I’m welcoming any and all comments on this.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.
