Thought I'd join in here:


Bloomington Springs, TN

Just moved this Summer to Baxter, TN. The P.O. in Baxter is fairly new and no more interesting than others that have been posted here, but this one is about 2 1/2 miles straight up a state highway from my subdivision. If I need mail to go today and I'm in a hurry, I can be there, drop off, and be home in about 6 minutes.
But it's only open until 2pm!

In 1724, Holy Roman-German Emperor asked the imperial Postmaster Prince Anselm Franz von Thurn und Taxis to take up residence in Frankfurt am Main. Between 1731 and 1739, he had a castle built in Frankfurt. In 1748, the castle became the administrative seat of the imperial post office operated by the Thurn und Taxis family.

In the same year, the Prince of Thurn und Taxis moved to Regensburg. The Holy Roman-German Empire was dissolved in 1806. When Bavaria took control of its own postal system in 1810, the House of Thurn und Taxis negotiated a postal monopoly within the Deutscher Bund and Frankfurt am Main became its seat. In 1895, Prince Albert I von Thurn und Taxis sold the castle to the Reichspost.

The castle was damaged by several bombing raids during World War II. Between 2004 and 2009, it was reconstructed in an altered form. It adjoins the MyZeil shopping centre that was constructed on a site used for decades by the Deutsche Bundespost.

On the main concours of Frankfurt (Main) Hauptbahnhof is a small post office that opens during normal workdays.

There remain few post offices in Germany. Post Office counters often can be found at Deutsche Postbank offices. This is the office on the Goetheplatz 6 in the centre of Frankfurt am Main. The square is a few hundred metres from the old town and about 100 metres from the birth house of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. In front of the offices, next to the letter boxes stands a dispenser for variable value stamps (Automatenmarken).

This is a Postbank and Deutsche Post corner inside the 'Galleria Karstadt' store on Frankfurt am Main's high street, Zeil. It is about 200 metres from the Postbank offices on Goetheplatz. This 'post office' has two dispensers for variable value stamps. The second one stands on the other side of the pillar.

The Palazzo delle Poste in Trieste, Italy was built in eclectic style, in 1894. The architect was Friedrich Selz from Vienna.

The building stands on the site of a previous customs building that had been erected on the ancient salt pans.

On the lower floor is the Mitteleuropa Postal and Telegraph Museum that opens from 09:00 until 13:00 CET on weekdays. Trieste was an important harbour of the Austro-Hungarian Empire before it became part of Italy after World. War I

Castelló de la Plana is a city in the Valencia Community and capital of the Spanish province of Castellón. It is about 65 kilometres north of the city of Valencia.

Until 30 March 2022, the administrative office of Correos in Castelló de la Plana was located in Plaza Tetuán. The building dates to 1932. Its architects are Demetrio Ribés Marco and Joaquín Dicenta Vilaplana. The modernist building shows strong Aragonese Mudéjar influences.

The building has three floors. The post office was located on the lower floor.

The new post office of Castelló de la Plana opened on 30 March 2022, when the old one shown in the previous post was closed.

The main post office in St. Mary's Square in Óbidos, Leiria district, Portugal.

The mannerist Aboins manor was built on the order of King João V of Portugal in the middle of the 18th. century. He ordered its construction so the local nobleman Aboins would have a residence worthy to lodge a king. It was refurbished in the 20th. century to house the local post office.


For the usual lot of postcards to send to friends, they had self-adhesive non-value-indicator stamps for use on letters and postcards up to 20 grammes to European addresses outside Portugal (E), and for addresses outside Europe (I). In contrast to neighbouring Spain, Portugal considers Russia part of Europe.

Postfiliale 8200 Schaffhausen 1, Bahnhofstraße 34
The main post office in the old town of Schaffhausen (Switzerland) is located across the road from the station.

Over the archway at the foot of the tower appears a posthorn.

Near the old town of Split are two post offices. One is hidden besides the entrance to a five-star hotel just north of the old town.

A bigger one is located in the ferry port to the southeast of Diocleatian's palace. The main bus and train stations of Split are also in this ferry port.



The post office had old year sets of Croatian stamps for sale. On 1 January 2023, Croatia adopted the Euro for its national currency. Its former national currency, Kuna (marten), was a reference to the mediaeval tax or currency in the form of marten skins. There is a single basic tariff for international mail.

The stamps I received came from a roll of stamps with numbers printed on the backing paper. They depict the Telascica nature park on the island of Dugi Otok.

The Post Office at Hartley, on the western side of the Blue Mountains, in 1870. A village already in decline.

In Stoughton Wis....time has frozen for this office....at least for the main bldg....there is now a side wing added in 90's

Post office in Georgetown, Cayman Islands.

This is the first post office I've ever seen, which I went to every weekday from 1975 until it closed in 1986, except for the year of military service.
Built by the architect Teodoro de Anasagasti between 1917-25 on the medieval fortification of the port, which was on the Roman salting factory, which were next to the Phoenician wall. It should not be forgotten that Málaga is a natural bay and that is why ships have docked here since time immemorial.
Now it is the headquarters of the Rectorate of the University of Málaga.



In 1986 the new Post Office building was inaugurated, this impressive 13-story mass, the work of the architects José Luis González and Juan Salabert, which was closed in 2010 because it was affected by aluminosis.
The Spanish state ceded it to the Junta de Andalucía in payment of the historical debt and in 2020 the J.A. he sold it to Israeli tycoon Haim Tsuff for 23.5 million euros. It has been abandoned since 2010.
To the right there is a red brick building, on the ground floor there is a bar with a terrace where we philatelists from Malaga meet every Saturday.



After the closure, the central postal services were located in commercial warehouses in an industrial park.



A few offices scattered around the city remained to serve the public and in 2016 a new office was inaugurated in the south tower of the María Zambrano railway station in Málaga.
In the photograph of the inauguration is the Director, (second from the left) who is still working and who is the one who attends to the philatelists; kind and serious.
