We use the little building as our post office bank. Nelson Provincial Museum supplied us with a close-up of the old Collingwood post office sign and I replicated it.
We have a large and heavy safe. Scott had to put an extra pile underneath the floor where the safe sits to support it.
We also have parts of a Lamson pneumatic cash and document tube system. This was used to send money, documents and small merchandise through a tube system.
Lately we used the building to have the EFTPOS machine set up.
Where I have been...
