Schley Post Office

Pen and ink drawing of E.B. Brown Store and Schley Post Office

7 - E. B. Brown Store & Schley Post Office (Schley Post Office) - 5778 Ware Neck Road - Rt. 623.  Sam Brown opened the original Schley store in 1898 and the Post Office in 1902. The name Schley was chosen by his mother-in-law, to honor a U. S. Navy Admiral who traveled to Antarctica. The present building was built in c. 1910 by E. B. Brown, one of two stores he owned in Ware Neck. An unusual characteristic of this store is the walkway around the interior walls of the second story. The store has closed but the post office continues to operate.  Open Monday through Saturday 8 am to 12:30 pm
