This brick building sits at the southern end of downtown Norwood and is on Central Street where it merges with Washington Street. In front of it is a parking area and a small green. This post office serves the town of Norwood, which has about 25,000 residents.

The cornerstone to the left of the entrance has the year 1933 on it, and has a list of names. The Postmaster General, at the time was James A. Farley. William C. Upham was the architect.

The central portion of the building, likely the original structure, has a cupola and weathervane, plus some ornaments.

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.
