Residents of the Humboldt County community of Rutland celebrated in August 1967 when Postmaster General Lawrence F. O’Brien announced that a contract had been awarded to remodel the interior of the Rutland Post Office building. Air-conditioning was added to the 475-square-foot building, which still serves as the community post office today. A few minor changes have been made since 1967, including the addition of the ramp, a permanent flag pole and installation of a full-size mailbox.
