Todays featured post office is from Lewisburg Tennessee. Pictured above is the newer post office building constructed in the late 1980’s. The mural was moved from the old post office to this building. Can anyone confirm the location of the original post office building? Tomorrow featured post office is what I believe to be the old location but I have not been able to confirm this. Would you happen to know? Do you know the address? Have any pictures when it was a post office?
The mural is very large is size, so I decided to get a bunch of close up photos so you can all see and appreciate the detail of this great mural. I had a nice visit and enjoyed seeing this one.
Thanks,
David W. Gates Jr.
