Another beautiful WPA era building. Not only does it boast a great mural but is also well maintained. I was happy when I arrived and had no issues waiting to photograph it.

A great mural of the country-side of what Wisconsin would have looked like back in the 1930’s. Kinda cool!

Thanks for stopping by,

ADDRESS: 108 Fillmore St. Black River Falls, Wisconsin 54615
ARTIST: Frank E. Buffmire
TITLE: Lumbering Black River Mill
MEDIUM: Oil on canvas (mural)
STATUS: The Black River Falls Post Office is active to this day, and the mural is viewable by the public. It resides in the lobby on the wall above the postmaster’s door.
YEAR: 1939

I just made it here on time. As I was pulling up to the Black River Falls post office, a employee was walking out of the building to retrieve the mail from the box out in front. With a hurried and frantic tone to my voice I explained I just wanted to get a few photos of the mural. Luckily, I was able to get some photographs before the lobby closed.

And that my friends is how it works sometimes when you visit a lot of post offices. The hard work I go to bring you these great post offices is truly rewarding.

Thanks for visiting,

Berlin Wisconsin Post Office

Berlin WI Post Office 54923
Berlin WI Post Office 54923

ADDRESS: 122 S. Pearl St. Berlin, Wisconsin 54923
ARTIST: Raymond Redell
TITLE: Gathering Cranberries
MEDIUM: Oil on canvas (mural)
STATUS:  The Berlin post office is still an active, operating facility, and the mural can be viewed by interested members of the public. It resides in the lobby on the wall above the postmaster’s door.
YEAR: 1938

When I visit post offices I really try to get an un-obstructed photo of the building. I really dislike it when I’m not able to do this. Take for example the Berlin, Wisconsin Post Office. I sat around for about 35 minutes before I decided to just move on.

The pickup truck in front I concluded was not going to be moving anytime soon. This one has a great mural inside and I like the flowers out in front of the building. I think it adds a nice touch. What do you think? Should I start visiting post offices with a tow truck so I can move any cars that get in my way? I just kidding of course.  I welcome your comments below.

Thank you,

David W. Gates Jr.
