Post Offices near Vernon, TX

“The only reason I tracked down this post office was that I needed to weigh a package before I printed out the label to mail it. As soon as I saw the building I thought it reminded me of the old 1936 post office in my mother's home town of Pendleton Indiana. I wondered if it was from that same era, built by the WPA during the Depression. I asked the postal worker behind the counter and he said he wasn't sure but the employee next to him said he thought it might have been built about 1919. A a customer suggested I go outside and look for a Cornerstone which sounded like a good idea. Sure enough there was a stone outside saying that it had been built in 1917 so the employee was pretty close. I walked around the outside and then the inside, taking some photos. Everything from the bricks to the wood and the brass knobs was just beautiful. I told the employee they were lucky to have this neat Old Post Office still. He said he had thought about that more than once. I'm glad he appreciates it.”
