Arlington Heights Illinois Post Office

Address: 909 W. Euclid Ave., Arlington Heights, Illinois 60005

I’ve driven by this post office more times than I can remember. The building itself looks old which has always peaked my interest. Today I decided to stop in and have a look around.

I was delighted to find the dedication plaque. It read “This Building Dedicated to Public Service 1969”, Richard M. Nixon President of the United States and Winton M. Blount as postmaster general. I’m glad I visited today.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.

Niota Illinois Post Office

Address: 275 Arbor St., Niota, Illinois 62358

The only indication that this is the Niota, IL post office was by using my GPS and USPS iPhone application. The name of the city is not even displayed on the door of this tiny building. It’s definitely a small post office for a small city.

I did not find a dedicated plaque, artwork or any other interesting artifacts. Must continue on.

Thanks,

Lomax Illinois Post Office

Address: 100 Main St., Lomax, Illinois 61454

While on my road trip I stopped at the Lomax, IL Post Office. While I was taking pictures of the exterior of the building the lady working at the counter stepped outside to ask me what I was doing. The only customer had just left so it was just her and I standing outside looking at the post office. I introduced myself and explained that I take pictures of post offices. She hurried back inside and since I wanted to get to Hamilton I just left the brief and continued on my way.

No dedication plaque

Thanks,
