Wheaton Illinois Post Office

ADDRESS: 122 N. Wheaton Ave., Wheaton, Illinois 60187

Okay, Okay, Okay, Yes, I like artwork and murals at our nations post offices. But sometimes you don’t get that at some of our historic post offices. Take for instance the Wheaton Illinois Post Office. Although it doesn’t have a mural or artwork the building itself is really pretty interesting. I guess you can tell how much I enjoyed my visit by the number of photographs I took. It really is all about the details.

It appears more time and effort was put into the buildings back when this was constructed. Today’s post office buildings are increasingly found in bland shopping centers with the emphasis on cheap rent and less attractive locations.

Anyway, I love everything about the old post offices, not just the artwork but the buildings themselves.

Thanks,
