What a treat today, another great stop by our contributing Post Office Fan Roger. Thanks for sharing.
Attached are several photos of the Post Office in Honesdale, PA. It was built in 1935; however, since the cornerstone looks newer, parts of the building may have been remodeled. You’re going to love this building! They’re 5 murals inside and many photos of the building’s construction. Plus I photographed a write-up describing the murals. Feel free to post as much as you want onto your website. I may post a few on Twitter myself. I’ll send you a separate email with more photos.
Best regards,
Roger
