The wood relief can be viewed by interested members of the public at the newer facility. It resides in the retail section of the lobby and is best viewed during business hours.
YEAR: 1942

The former Miamisburg, Ohio post office is now the home to the Miamisburg Parks and Recreations Center. I was lucky enough to visit during business hours and to see part of the inside of this remodeled former post office.

Although much of the character of the old building has been modernized, it still has the features and bones of an old post office.

In addition the community center has done a wonderful job framing and displaying the historical construction photos. What a treat to see.

Obviously the building has been added on to the left side, which houses offices and other meeting rooms for the community center.

The original lettering for the city name remains on the front of the building but the lettering for post office is no longer displayed. I forgot to ask if they still have that around somewhere.
