House is 1905 we bought it in 2014... not sure when the mailbox was purchased. I think technically speaking the Fed owns all mailboxes... but pretty sure it's up to the homeowner to purchase, replace, repair, etc.

Had a box just like that for over 40 years. Was by the road though.
The top latch broke off ours too finally.
Then it got mashed up against the power pole when a car hit it. RIP.

Capacious.

I bought a new one a few months ago. Was like $20 at Lowes.

Owner is responsible for the mailbox. Technically you buy, maintain and are responsible for it but it is controlled by USPS. It has to be an official "Postmaster Approved" design. You can build your own as long as the local postmaster reviews and approves it once it is complete.

Drinking lots of tea and hot coffee. Playing Witcher III. Bacon, eggs, and green onion on crusty bread. My wife made me put Vick's vapor rub in my nose. We're just trying to be quiet so the cats can sleep. God knows how all this bad news must be affecting them.
