Several months ago I feature about 45 or so post offices from Ohio. The Upper Sandusky was one I took a bunch of picture of. I’m guessing this was why I never posted it a few months back. These are always my favorite and I like to enjoy working with the photos. I reminisce about my visit and admire the artwork again on my computer. I took 15 photos of this building and the inside. It’s a lot of material so enjoy the collection.
What are your impressions of this mural? Please comment below.
