ADDRESS: 5555 N. 91st St., Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53225

Today I bring you the Fred John Station. I have no idea who Fred John is, but if you do please enlighten me. In cases like this It seems like the post office would have a plaque. Take for instance the ones that have “In Honor” plaques. Funny that this one does not.

Can you tell me why? Are you Fred John? Are you a friend of Fred John?

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.

Welcome to another awesome Wisconsin Post Office.  One summer weekend in 2013, I was not able to sleep. So what did I do? I woke up about 3:00 in the morning. Wide awake I said to myself “I could make it to Sturgeon Bay and back today,” So that’s what I did. A personal visit by me to confirm and photograph this great building and mural.

But what a long day, I made it Sturgeon Bay, drove to some other post offices and then back home. Lots of driving but that’s what it takes.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.

Hubertus Wisconsin Post Office

Hubertus WI Post Office 53033

ADDRESS: 3695 Humbertus Rd., Humbertus, Wisconsin 53033

Today’s featured post office is Humbertus Wisconsin. I’m not sure why I took a picture of the flag rope holder or whatever you call it? But here is the thing. Someone made it, I know it says Metal Parts Co. But someone working for the company must have remembered forging this and creating this part. I guess that why I take random pictures of these things.

Was it you? Did you work for Metal Parts Co and were you a part of making this part? Sounds redundant but I just thought I’d ask.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.
