Zeebrugge, Belgium

St. Augustine, FL

I’ve actually seen this one.

Columbus, NE

The post office in Columbus, Nebraska, so new they hadn’t put the light globes on the lamp posts yet. Note the raised crosswalk in the street, so pedestrians could cross without wading through the mud. And here is the post office all dressed up:

Inland, OH

The post office in Inland, Ohio, where someone heard a picture was to be taken and the word spread like wildfire.

Lake Worth, FL

The Lake Worth, Florida, post office, still open for posting today, not far from the historic Polo Museum and Hall of Fame.

Norwich, CT

Posted solely, happily for the Volkswagen.

Willimantic, CT

I love this postcard of the Willimantic, Connecticut, post office for its shrubbery, but was delighted to learn that today the building is home to the Willimantic Brewing Company/Main Street Cafe brewpub.

Long Beach, CA

The Long Beach, California, post office, after the earthquake of 1933.

Fallsburgh, NY

The post office of Fallsburgh, a.k.a. Fallsburg, a.k.a. Old Falls, a.k.a. Neversink Falls, in the Catskills of New York state.

Quonochontaug, RI

I know; it’s not a post office, but it was too interesting to pass up. Quonochontaug is made up of three beach communities in Charlestown, Rhode Island: West Beach, Central Beach, and East Beach. Quonochontaug was a busy resort of small hotels and boarding houses until the Great Hurricane of September 1938. The storm surge was more than 15 feet along the Rhode Island shore, and took hundreds of cottages out to sea. Everything man-made on Napatree Point, a small cape that was home to more than 30 families, was swept away; today the remaining land is a wildlife refuge. Approximately 600 people died in the storm in Rhode Island.
