The post office is the wood framed building with the 2nd floor balcony to the right of the Austin House hotel. Known as the Stanton Building, it was constructed in 1896 by the village postmaster John Stanton. It operated as a combination post office and grocery store.
The building on the far right of the photograph was demolished c. 1972.
