ADDRESS: 207 Market St, Pocomoke City, MD 21851
ARTIST: Perna Krick
TITLE: Power of Communication
MEDIUM: Wood (relief)
STATUS: The Pocomoke City post office is still an active, operating facility, and the relief can be viewed by interested members of the public. It resides in the retail section of the lobby on the wall above the postmaster’s door. It is best viewed during business hours as the retail section is locked during non-business hours.
YEAR: 1939
During my trip in August of 2021, I had some extra time. So drove through Delaware and since Pocomoke City is near the border I decided to grab this on during my trip.
The lobby is open, but the retail section is closed during non-business hours. I wasn’t able to get good pictures of the wood relief, but I did mange to get a few through the window.
I wasn’t to disappointed as I knew this stop was a bonus. After all I had already gotten what I needed from New Jersey during this particular trip. I’m delighted the weather was great from some good exterior photos.
Note to self, visit during business hours.
