According to the history
of Freeland written by Charles Stumpf, there have been a succession of
post offices in Freeland. The first post office to serve our area was established in the Woodside section on February 19, 1873. On November 27, 1876 the name of this post office was changed to 'Freeland'. On April 16th, 1890, building contractor John M. Cunnius began work on the foundation for a new Freeland post office. In 1915 the Freeland Post Office was located in the Goeppert building at 714 Centre Street, between Front and Walnut streets. A new post office building was constructed in the mid-1930s and was dedicated on October 30, 1937. This is the current Freeland Post Office and stands on the northwest corner of Main and Washington streets. These great photographs, taken during the construction of the current post office building, are provided here courtesy of Bill Smith. Note that several nearby buildings have been labeled.
