Post offices with dedication plaques.

ADDRESS: 1515 S. Grove Ave., Barrington, Illinois 60010

I had some strange looks today while I was taking pictures of this one. One person said hello and seemed like he wanted to say something but did not.

The lobby had a case that was donated by the local area APWU AFL-CIO. I took pictures of the case and its contents and was on my way. Some times that’s what you find when you stop and take a look around.

Dedicated in 1988, Ronald Reagan, Anthony M Frank as postmaster general.

Thanks for visiting

ADDRESS: 125 Schelter Rd., Lincolnshire, Illinois 60069

I was on the way home from running errands and stopped at the Lincolnshire post office. It was busy, and there were cars in the parking lot. When I first spotted it, I was happy to see that it was a stand alone building. These always make me happy. I just think they have more character than other post offices.

The Lincolnshire post office is a perfect example of what I look for in a post office. Nice stand alone building with the name and zip displayed on the outside. It’s the perfect post card or souvenir.

Contrast this to the Island Lake, IL post office I stopped at today and you’ll see the difference.

The lobby is rather small and I found the dedication plaque. The building was dedicated in 1988 while Ronald Reagan was president. Anthony M Frank was postmaster general.

Thanks for reading.
