Nope, not similar really but I'm guessing the size of the box in front is the size of a card catalog drawer. Is the mural still in good shape?

I'm so glad they are retained.

I have been in the library with my grand-kids a few times.

Unfortunately because of lack of lifeguards, the pool closed for good a couple of years ago. <br /><br />Those PO boxes brought back some memories! The old PO in my Minnesota hometown had very ornate boxes with dial number combinations. The new PO had boxes with key locks like these. It was my job to pick up our mail and my grandmother's mail on my way home from school every day.

I went to the link (which is great!) and found that a post office near me was built then and a mural (by Paul Mays) was added, and the post office is still in use. I remember my Dad pointing out a lot of fire towers in Vermont when we would go hiking as being built by the CCC. A fun post - thank you!Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13189170045283685051noreply@blogger.com
