Time Warp

Orange Post Office underwent a major upgrading in 1964. In a four-moth job, it was painted inside and out. The outside was two-tone green and white. New post boxes were installed and extensive renovations were made inside, including in the telegraph section. This photo shows four of the seven-man team painting the exterior. More than 150 gallons of paint was used.
