I was happy to get this one as one of the very last stops during my October 2022 road trip. However, the sun was behind the building so it was a challenge to get a good photo. I dislike it when the pictures are dark and it’s hard to see the front of the buildings.

Cool! thanks for letting me know. Its a great looking building. Especially the lobby. The vestibule is larger than you typically see and the hallways for the PO Boxes is unique for this size building.
