Description

Photograph of the Hawk Inlet post office, as viewed from the side. A wood plank walkway extends from the foreground, left-of-center, and back towards center. At right, a 2-story building lines the walkway and stretches into the distance. An awning in the near distance juts from the building and over the walkway. The sign hanging down from the awning reads, "HAWK INLET POST - OFFICE." A man stands beneath the awning and faces the door at right. Behind him, other people stand alongside the building and peek into the windows. A few others stroll along the walkway at left. Another 2-story building lines the left side of the walkway and stretches into the distance. A transparent band of gray stretches along the bottom edge of the photograph.
