Pleeeease don’t standardize this one!

Another interesting Post Office spotted on Flickr- in Kaweah California, not far from Sequoia National Park. There’a also a picture of the same building taken in 1910 at this historic photo archive that shows how little it has changed over the years. Kaweah turns out to be a pretty interesting place- it was founded by a Danish-American socialist as a utopian community in 1886. Click here for more on the community’s history.

Lest we be accused of picking on the South, here’s a retail standardization candidate from Massachusetts. This one is in Middlefield, in the Berkshires.

Another classic post office that could use some retail standardization. I’m assuming there are no murals or bas reliefs on the walls in Louvale.

And while we’re visiting jimmywayne22′s photostream, maybe someone could explain why we’re spending good money ‘standardizing’ nice, homey, popular post offices in New Jersey when we have dumps like this in West Virginia?
