Didn't Randy say : Just as Brainerd Hall was reconstructed, when the Post
office sold the
building the post offices were removed. However, one of the workers at the
new Winchester post office was responsible for the PO boxes at the old
location, he says that he could probably locate it to within a couple of
inches if he had to..."

Packy, here probably is your answer to finding the BOX.  Buying it's another
thing.  Even if we could, if FRH's descendants would want it ("My ancestor
founded a national organization & here's it's first office" or "Here's one
item from his life that isn't your usual momento/antique" etc.)
