The Marysville post office

Today I drove up to the Marysville post office to process some new employees.  I took a picture of the post and did a quick Google search about its history.  What an amazing time to be alive and to have this information at our fingertips.  

MARYSVILLE POST OFFICE (407 C Street).  The Works Project Administration building was constructed between 1934 and 1939, and remodeled in 1967.  It was once the third largest post office in Northern California.  The first postmaster was James Cushing, and the first post office in town was located inside of Cushing's real estate office on Second Street and Maiden Lane.  Marysville Post Office was also the location of California's first woman postmaster, Emma Hapgood.
