This is one cool post office. Check out the old photographs they have on the lobby walls. I was pretty excited to see this one. I took a bunch of pictures. I hope you enjoy them.
Are there any Plymouth historians out there? Care to share some insight about this historic post office. Plymouth was registered on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. Nice.
Thanks,
