Illinois Post Offices
ADDRESS: 125 S. Delmar Ave., Salem, IL 62881
Some post offices just sort of stick out for me. I think I have a preference towards brick and stone buildings. That is one of the reasons I can say why I like the looks of the Salem facility. It may also be the low profile design of the structure too. At any rate, the New Deal building was decommissioned and the is the replacement.
Thanks,

Welcome to today’s featured post office. Strasburg, Illinois. Every now and then I come across some unexpected surprises. I’m glad I stopped inside of this building. Take a look at the wood work. It is pretty amazing. I know what you are thinking “It’s just a post office” but to me it’s more than just a post office.
It represents a time when we put more time and effort into making buildings beautiful. So yeah it may be a post office, but the wood work and craftsmanship that went into the lobby is impressive. What do you think? Please comment and share below.
Thanks,
