(Former) Evansville IN - 47713 - U.S. Post Offices on Waymarking.com

This beautiful Victorian Neo-Gothic former US customs house, courthouse, and post office collected customs duties, move the mail, and adjudicated disputes at this strategic location along the Ohio River for 100 years.

In 1969 the federal government moved out of this building, and it sat vacant and derelict for several years until the GSA decided that they would demolish it. At that point the citizens of Evansville banded together to save the building and today it is an amazing example of Victorian neo-Gothic architecture, and a busy events venue in downtown Evansville Indiana.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.

A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
