Another beautiful day for photographing post offices. This was another stop during my October 2022 road trip.

Great to see a wood carving, most as you know are murals and painted on canvas. This one is wood and on the larger size with a lot of detail.

Sometimes I get busy and and forget a building or two. Apparently, I visited Antwerp in 2015 but never created the article. I found it as I was sorting and cataloging my recent Ohio photos.

Hamilton Ohio Post Office

Hamilton OH Post Office 45011
Hamilton OH Post Office 45011

ADDRESS: 105 Court Street, Hamilton, Ohio 45011
ARTIST: Richard Zoellner
TITLE: Fort Hamilton, Agriculture and Industries of Hamilton (6 panels)
MEDIUM: Oil on canvas (mural)
STATUS: The Hamilton post office is still an active, operating facility, and the murals can be viewed by interested members of the public. Five reside in the main lobby on the wall above the front entrances. The sixth resides on the west wall above, the postmaster’s door.
YEAR: 1941

Hamilton was another stop during my October 2022 road trip. I wasn’t expecting such a large building or I just wasn’t thinking at the time I was planning the trip. I’m happy I didn’t need to wait long for an unobstructed view of the front.

This building has six individual panels, one large one above the postmaster and office door. The other five are half circles above the front entrances to the building.

The larger one above the postmaster’s door is a bit difficult to photograph. The light hanging from the ceiling makes it difficult to see and photograph.

They are all in great shape, and I suspect have been restored or touched up.
