Summary

The August 1967 Beaver Beacon reported that Postmaster Frank Nackerman and Mrs. Nackerman received a federal contract to remodel and re-lease the post office on St. James harbor. Planned work included fluorescent lighting, hot-water baseboard heat, a tile lobby floor, interior redecoration, and a new mail vestibule.

Evidence and limits

The notice records the contract and proposed improvements. It does not provide a completion inspection, final lease, contractor file, or final cost.

Sources

  1. Reports fluorescent fixtures, hot-water baseboard heat, a tile lobby floor, interior redecoration, and a new mail vestibule; it says the Nackermans would lease the St. James harbor building to the Post Office Department for five years with renewal options through ten years, but it does not establish completion or final lease execution.
