ADDRESS: 528 Pennsylvania Avenue, Glen Ellyn, Illinois, 60137
ARTIST: Dan Rhodes
TITLE: Settlers
MEDIUM: Oil on canvas (mural)
STATUS: The Glen Ellyn post office is still an active, operating facility, and the mural can be viewed by interested members of the public. It resides in the lobby on the wall above the postmasters door.
YEAR: 1937

WOW! Check out the building and mural? See the funny thing is, we visited the newer post office first before heading to the downtown area to visit this one. So as you can imagine the contrast between the two buildings, is really is quit amazing.

Thanks for stopping by

Former Villa Park Illinois Post Office

ADDRESS: 321 E. Kenilworth Ave., Villa Park, Illinois 60181

Another historic building for sale. I never come across any sources, as this building ever having artwork, but it still pains me to see these wonderful old buildings for sale. I visited in January of this year hoping to get it photographed before it potentially disappears for good. If only I could get inside to see if the lobby has anything interesting.

Can anyone help me out? Is there stuff inside to see? I really just curious and would like to see it since its vacant anyway.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.

ADDRESS: 380 E. Saint Charles Rd., Lombard, Illinois 60148

Hello Lombard, I’m fighting to find kind words to really get people excited about this one? Or maybe its just a lost cause. But here is the photo of the day. The Lombard Illinois Post Office. I had to stop and check out those very large blue letters.

UNITED STATES POST OFFICE, in the computer world this is equivalent to yelling at someone. I don’t know what brought this up but its one of the first things I though when I first saw it.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.
