When the Maxson family first moved to Richfield, West 68th Street was a dirt road in such poor condition that the postal service couldn't deliver mail to their door. Instead, the Maxson's mailbox and those of their neighbors were located a few blocks away, on the corner of West 68th Street and Penn Avenue South.
This photograph shows a mailman delivering mail to a simliar row of mailboxes in an unknown location.
