Like our trip all over the state of South Carolina to capture an image of every Post Office in the state, the one for Oregon will differ in a couple ways. 1) We are thinking that we aren’t going to chase every single one in the bigger towns, like for instance, Portland’s 2 dozen. And 2) Every single one of them may not have the same automobile in the photos, it might be a Miata or it might be a Mini Cooper.
Pilot Rock to Saint Paul
Portland - 97203
Saint Johns post office looks a little old because the shopping center around it is full on new stores. (10/20/24)
Portland - 97206
Creston - Drove right by the first time, but after circling the block I found my way into the parking area. (10/13/24)
Portland - 97208
This is called Portland because it is the main post office for the big city and big it was. This photo shows a little more than half the building size. (10/20/24)
Portland - 97213
Rose City Park - Today's last Post Office of the day. I had one more on the list, but traffic was picking up, so I opted to do it next Sunday. (10/13/24)
Portland - 97214
East Portland - I literally drove right by this post office yesterday when I had some business to take care of at the county building. (10/13/24)

Lents at Eastpoint - I don't know why Lets, but this is in a newly revitalized shopping center called Eastpoint. (10/13/24)
Prospect - 97536
Prospect wasn't much of a place, but then again a lot of the Post Offices we captured today were tiny little unincorporated communities. (9/8/2023)
Redmond - 97756
A very large building befitting its town's growing population. Unfortunately they must have run out of money for any kind of signs for identifying the town. (07/02/22)

breakfast. (8/18/2023)
Rouge River - 97537
Originally called Tailholt. In 1872 it was named Woodville after John Woods. In 1912 the town council officially changed the name to Rogue River because the river runs tight through town. (10/04/21)
Rufus - 97050
This small town of a couple hundred along the Columbia River was for 6 months in 1945 almost 2.500 strong with Army soldiers that were testing pontoon bridges for use in Germany. (07/01/23)
