ADDRESS: 16260 Louis Ave., South Holland, Illinois 60473

Third on my list today was the South Holland post office. It was nice to see a smaller building. The lobby was closed but I could see the dedication plaque through the front window.

Dedicated in 1969 while Richard M Nixon was president. Winton M Blount was postmaster general. I was able to get a decent picture of it even through the window.

Thanks,

Streamwood is the third post office I visited today. To be honest this one is just your basic no thrills post office building. It’s just a brick building on the end of a strip mall. I went inside to view the lobby and it’s just as boring as the exterior.

I didn’t spend much time here, took my pictures and left. Out of the 4 post offices I visited today, this was the third one that did not have a dedication plaque.

Thanks for reading,

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
