US Post Office – Atchison, KS
The Atchison, KS Post Office is a historic stone building with round towers and arched windows stands prominently at the corner of 7th Street and Kansas Avenue.
According to the Visit Atchison Kansas Facebook Page – “Built in 1894, the Atchison Post Office is one of the most magnificent post offices in the Midwest. It’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was dedicated in honor of Atchison native, Amelia Earhart in 2018. The building still remarkably resembles how it looked over a hundred years ago.”
I took a few shots of this and other historic buildings in Atchison on a visit back in September.

We took a short trip to Atchison this last weekend and I planned on focusing on interesting, old buildings. This very cool, historic building features features a large, seven story clock tower on one side.
