Oxford: Post Office (Location Key)

During the 1920s (when William Faulkner actually worked there for a time, while struggling to become a writer), the U.S. Post Office at the University of Mississippi was located inside a part of the University Store Building, which served the community as a kind of student activities building. The postal "clerk" whom Horace Benbow speaks with in Sanctuary doesn't look much like Faulkner looked when he worked there; he might have been tempted to write himself into the novel, but according to his biographers Faulkner hated the job.
