Construction Underway On Lawrence Postal Annex Near Seventh Street
Construction began today on a $28,000 parcel post annex for the Lawrence Post Office located north of the current building at 7th and N. H. Streets. The lease is from Harold and L. L. Snider, with Robert Still as architect and contractor, for a 50 by 60 foot brick, one story structure facing east on New Hampshire Street. It will sit 42 feet back, include a front mailing platform, and a front area for parking and vehicle maneuvering. The parcel post room space will become office space, while mailing of packages continues in the existing area and all incoming and outgoing items will move through the new annex. The annex provides 2,784 square feet of working space. The note about oil wells seems unrelated to the project.
