This type of mailbox is used at apartment complexes. This one was in front of a large house that had been converted into 8 separate units. Each unit gets their own mail key so that their mail stays private and secure!

2007-04-01 02:01Yes, Gerald, I agree.
Ham, the postman has a key to the lock on the back of the box which open revealing the cubbies for each unit.

2007-04-01 03:26But there is no name on the boxes, how does the postman do if the sender of the letters forgot to write the number? Maybe my question is a French one, American people must be more organized than me…

2007-04-01 06:31Oh, I was hoping for something adobe; too much to ask, I guess! This is a common means of receiving mail in small town USA or in tourist hot spots.

2007-04-01 07:03I had not thought to take a photo like this. You are correct the number 1 box is public while the others are private.
