STATUS: The former Tell City post office is no longer an active, operating facility The relief was moved to the newer building shown here. It can be viewed by interested members of the public during business hours. It resides in the retail section of the lobby behind the retail counter.
YEAR: 1938
The former Tell City post office is now The Post restaurant & Grill. The wooden relief that was once house in the older building is now located in this one.
However, the relief is in the retail section of the lobby. Not only that but it is also located behind the retail counter, which makes it difficult to view and enjoy.
I had to peek through the windows to even see a little of it, when I visited. I’ll need to make another trip, kudos that I know of a good place to eat while in town.
