When was post office in corner building, reader asks Comments re photo 40069 Harris Building Eye level historic detailsMartha Berry writes: Ed, isn''t that the corner of Campbellsville St. and the Square? If so, when was the PO in that building? My first memory of the PO was in a building that was torn down many years ago, but today would be about where the Court House Annex is. It was in the corner of the Square next to the old Miller Hotel, what would be about at the far left edge of the picture. I really don't remember what was in the Mouser Building at the time but it seems like at one time there was a watch shop, among other businesses, maybe the first site of Ples Grimsley's? Or Royse's, maybe. - Martha BerryYou are right about the watch shop, there was one; but it was Casey Jones' Jewelry Shop. The post office was in the building, according to stories my father told me, before it was moved to the Hotel Miller building, which stood at the site of the present Adair Annex, 424 Public Square. The late Ray Flowers was postmaster, both in its last days in the little corner building and after it moved to the 424 Public Square Corner. My father, the late E.P. Waggener, carried Rural Route 1, at the time. That route wounded around up around Green River Country. Later, he helped established Rural Route 2, which included areas around Bliss, Gradyville, Weed, Sparksville, and The Flatwoods. -ED This story was posted on 2011-04-23 13:04:35
