    It’s in the Perinton Post Office now. at routes 31 and 250, about 5 miles south of its original Fairport NY location

  2. This piece is now located at the Fairport Post Office at 770 Ayrault Rd. It was moved when the retail post office (formerly on Route 31) merged back into what used to be called the carrier annex.
