I’m delighted to have had wonderful weather the first few days of my October 2022 road trip. The blue skies, cooler temperatures and low traffic made it perfect for photographing the Caldwell, Ohio post office building.
The mural for this one hangs in the retail section of the lobby. Since I was here on a Sunday, I had to photograph it through the glass wall. I think they turned out pretty good, but most likely, I’ll be back for better images. For now here is what you get.

Robert says
Hello David:
Yes, that is a quite different design. Could that be the cornerstone that is visible on the front wall, or is there a handicap ramp behind the wall.
