The United States Post Office remains a Murray Street institution. My uncle worked here as a postal clerk most of his life, and I remember riding my bicycle downtown to buy new 4¢ commemorative stamps to feed my stamp collecting hobby in 1960. And when I worked the swing-shift for Rapides Bank in 1968, I would sometimes come here at midnight to mail that night's processing results.
