Old Post Office Postcard

In this original photograph, we see the old post office in El Jobean, Florida, bathed in late afternoon sunlight. The porch roof casts a strong shadow across the doorway of the white clapboard building with green trim. In the shadows above the porch, over the door, there is a sign which reads "U. S. POST OFFICE, EL JOBEAN, FLORIDA, GROCERIES". The post office, built in 1922, also served as a general store, with groceries and bait & tackle. It is now a museum. The old building is surrounded by palm trees and other tropical greenery, with a bright blue sky in the background. This is a treasure of Old Florida.
