“I have several demands for the Torrington post office going forward. First, I want pictures of how it used to look, because it must have been fancy. The public post office is made up of three rooms - lobby in the middle, retail shop on the right, and post office boxes on the left. There are these heavy duty wooden tables by the post office boxes who must have been used on both sides at one point (they're now pushed against the wall). The airplane-like windows must have looked so modern at one point. There are also other doors. Did they used to go somewhere? Was a small cafe attached on the left side of the building, explaining what looks like a separate entrance? Did the walls once hold more art? To my second demand, I want information about the current art. What is up now looks like pieces (imagined) of local boy who tried really hard to do good, John Brown. They're really interesting, and deserve a plaque with more information!As the post office actually is though - the drive up mailbox is a winter godsend, but has a fun tight corner to get to the drop slot. Prepare to lean. Parking is always available, and the retail shop has more postal purchasing opportunities than anywhere else I've seen since 2005. No late hours, but if you need stamps or shipping material they'll have it here!”
