Stony Brook, NY 11790 - U.S. Post Offices on Waymarking.com

The Stony Brook Post Office opened in 1941.
The Stony Brook Post Office is also home to the Mechanical Eagle that resides on its pediment, and flaps its wings every hour on the hour (8:00 am – 8:00 pm) as it has done since 1941 welcoming thousands of visitors to the village specialty shops and restaurants. The eagle was hand carved and its wings span 20 feet. The post office, a traditional hub of community activity, was the core of Mr. Melville’s original vision and project, his “living Williamsburg.” It is located in Harbor Crescent, where a series of connected shops overlooks the Village Green, and the site of The Ward Melville Heritage Organization’s holiday tree lighting and a premier wedding photograph location for generations of area brides and grooms.

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.
