look up

 

As you wander through the buildings in downtown Post on "Trade Days" admiring the various wares, look up.  There are some neat architectural features (I'm sure this one has a better name than "short roof tower with windows").  Most of the buildings along Main Street were built between 1907 and 1937; the Herring Plaza was built in 1926, according to the date carved on the lintel.  I don't know the history of building; it's interior has been remodeled and home to lots of businesses including a beauty shop and tanning salon.  When you visit, cast your eyes upward to admire the skylights and pressed metal ceilings.
