Welcome to another featured post office of the day. The Crawfordsville, IN was another stop during a recent trip to Indiana. This was awesome stop. Great mural and wonderful old building.

Updated images from a trip in 2021. wow! time flies and they’ve removed the name of the city from above the front entrance.

Thanks,

What I like about this post office is the fact that it is so light and airy inside. None of that heavy dark paneling so common to a lot of the New Deal post offices. The atmosphere is completely different.
