Reporting with words, photos & video

Preservation of the post office

The postal system, once the dominate way to communicate and be informed, has given way to the internet. It is both interesting and important to understand how the "main" port office in the center of the community pulled neighbors together. Domke has focused on the old post offices in Texas, where politicians once helped make their districts post offices standout. Size was determined by the amount of mail handled and they were built along the side of the main road leading into downtown.
Domke enjoys speaking to groups about how these old post offices. Groups interested in hearing and seeing the old post office can contact Domke for a half-hour presentation and discussion covering architecture, stamp collecting and Texas history. |
