ADDRESS: 100 N. Main St., Three Rivers, Michigan 49093

What a great picturesque building. Standing very tall and proud right on the corner of main street in downtown Three Rivers is a beautiful WPA era post office building. Serving the community for generations since 1914 as indicated by the hidden corner-stone. Although there is no mural or other artwork the building itself its very pleasing on the eyes. I’m glad I drove slightly out of my way to visit this one. I just wished it would have been open when I arrived.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.
