Maumee Ohio Former Post Office

By

Former Maumee OH Post Office 43537
Former Maumee OH Post Office 43537

ADDRESS: 415 Conant Street., Maumee, Ohio 43537
ARTIST: Rudolph Scheffler
TITLE: Communication
MEDIUM: Oil on canvas (mural)
STATUS: The former Maumee post office is no longer an active, operating postal facility. It is now home to the local business. However, there are reports the mural still resides in the building. It previously resided in the mail lobby on the wall above the former postmaster’s office.
YEAR: 1936

I was confused when I visited Maumee, I had originally though this was still an active post office. The records that I have been checking stated it does have a mural. unfortunately, I have been unable to find any further information regarding the where-a-bouts of it.

Does anyone out there happen to know if the mural still resides inside the old post office? When I visited it was during Thanksgiving holiday and whatever business is located here was closed. Darn I said to myself. I’ll be back in the area again soon I hope. I’ll have to plan my visit more carefully.

Thanks,

ADDRESS: 416 W. State St., Fremont, Ohio 43420

So I actually had the address of the newer Fremont post office dialed into my GPS. As I was driving through Fremont, I stumbled across this one. I didn’t even know it existed. I remember getting hungry and looking for a place to eat. So I decided to drive around the downtown area and low and behold this is what I found.

I was sad to see the deterioration of the corner-stone but at least It wasn’t completed covered up or destroyed. I know very little about this one so If anyone else has any stories or additional history on by all means please share.

Thanks,

Former Annada Missouri Post Office

ADDRESS: 306 Route 79, Annada, Missouri 63330

I almost drove right past this one and had to do a double take. We actually turned the car around because I thought it looked a lot like a post office.  I really didn’t know until we took a closer look. Sad to see that it was closed but with a population of only 29 in 2010, I can’t say I blame the USPS for closing it.

Does anyone out there know when it opened? Or when it closed. I didn’t see much else to this town that would even look to like a historical society or any other major services.

Thanks,
