Mailboxes (Willey, Iowa)
Though the small Carroll County community of Willey hasn’t had a full-service Post Office since 1901, resident mailboxes have been grouped in a single location for many years. A 1969 article in the Carroll Daily Herald noted a new facility that divided the mailboxes into two rows and added the town nameplate at the top of the stand, the first upgrade in 43 years. The pictured canopy was constructed in 2004, featuring 32 mailboxes along with benches for local children to wait for school buses.
