July 23, 2009: The apparently-now-former Havelock post office. By August 2013, according to Google Street View, cluster boxes had been placed on the left side of the building. (Hard to believe this picture is nearly a decade old. — Ed.)
The Havelock post office has reopened in a new building, according to a press release from the USPS passed on by the Sioux City Journal and KWWL.
The old building (i.e. the one above) closed in 2016 for “environmental concerns”. It stood at the north end of a pretty empty one-block Main Street, although the local telecom company has a building nearby and the elevator is on the other side of the tracks.
I’m a little surprised Havelock got a new post office, although it will be easier than going the eight miles to Pocahontas.
