Post Office Photo: Custer, South Dakota

U.S. Post Office, Custer, South Dakota

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I "collect" photos of post office buildings when I travel.  This one stands on Mount Rushmore Avenue in downtown Custer, South Dakota.  Custer is a town situated to the southwest of Rapid City, SD.  It is near several sites popular with tourists, including Wind Cave National Park, the Crazy Horse Memorial, Custer State Park, and the Mount Rushmore National Memorial.

The town of Fairplay is the county seat of Park County, Colorado.  This brick edifice was built in 1874 as the Park County Courthouse.  In 1986 a new courthouse was built a short distance away.  This building then became the Fairplay branch of the Park County Library.

A bit north of Hoosier Pass -- but south of Breckenridge -- is a tiny town of fewer than 1,000 residents called Blue River, Colorado.  Here is a photo of the building that serves as Blue River's Town Hall and Municipal Court.

When I am out and about, I like to take pictures of public buildings, especially Post Offices, Libraries, and Town Halls.  I think of them as "collectibles."  I'll be posting them on this blog.

Here's the first in the series: the Post Office at Tabernash, Colorado.
