A nearby historical marker to this two-story brick building highlights its history and tell us:

I.O.O.F. HALL

The Etna Chapter of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellow #184 was founded
on January 18, 1871. There were 11
charter members. This brick building
was designed by Louis Fafa and was
built in 1881. The upper floor was used
for lodge meetings of the Odd Fellows,
Rebekahs and other Fraternal
Organizations. The lower floor was used
for a school, post office, store, dance
hall and other community functions.

Native Daughters of the Golden West
Eschscholtzia Parlor #112

This building looks to be empty and is boarded up. It is located next to the birthplace of Randolph Collier, a state senator from northern California and across the street from the historic Collier Hotel, a former rooming house from 1897.

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.
