Post Office construction front

1932 black and white photograph of the Woodstock Post Office building on Johnson Street, Woodstock, Illinois. At the time of the photograph the building was still under construction. There is an automobile parked in front of the building with two men standing on the sidewalk and the original Montgomery Ward building is seen the background next door.

Title

Post Office construction front

Description

The exterior of the Post Office seems to be complete when compared with later photos.

There is also a rare view of the Montgomery Ward department store before the addition that doubled its original size.

At the rear a team of horses are backed up to the building. Across Throop St. several billboards can be seen: "Car of Value Pontiac V-6" and "Redfern Co."

Two men stand in front of the building and in front of a car although one man looks like he might be a ghost.
