Find what's changed in this photo

It's the Bluffton Post Office. But, look closely. How many things in this photo can you see that have changed since the photo was taken in the 1940s? Check out Main Street. It's brick. Look at the trees on the lawn. Closely examine the sidewalk widths. The modern ramp is not there, nor is the zip code above the doorway, or the white house behind the post office or the building to the north. One more thing: look closely at the post office doors. They have been replaced. We almost forgot. The lawn slants toward the sidewalk; there's no wall there.
