NEW POSTOFFICE AT MENASHA ONE OF REAL BEAUTY
Thousands Visit New Federal Building When Thrown Open to Public Inspection
Menasha—More than 6,000 adults, according to critical estimate, filed their way into the new Federal post office building here Saturday, between the hours of 2 to 9 p.m. to voice their approval of the latest addition to Menasha’s progress. Beautiful baskets of flowers carried expressions of congratulations to Postmaster C. A. Loescher and members of his staff and brought a touch of added beauty to the surroundings.
Expressions of delight were almost unanimous as visitors were ushered into the main entrance for a first hand inspection of the beautiful lobby. Members of the postal staff served as guides as visitors were escorted first to the second floor and then to the workshop and basement.
The lobby, in particular, attracted most favorable comment, but enthusiastic approval was accorded the work room and executive departments.
Office accommodations for war department, internal revenue and civil service operations are located on the second floor. The postmaster’s office is located at the southeast corner of the structure, and to the north of the lobby is the office of the assistant postmaster and money order clerk. The work room extends entirely across the west half of the building and entrance is gained to the work room by way of the west side of the building.
(Prior to this, the post office had been located at 221 Main Street, roughly across the street from Grove's Clothing Store.)
