Yes, but Post Offices and VFW Posts are exact name "chain" locations, they are allowed only once per state.

You can claim a Post Office and a VFW Post, but only once per state.

You can claim West Podunk Post Office in California for two points, but after that you can't claim "West Podunk" or "Post Office" anymore in California.
So if you also find the West Podunk VFW Post in California, you can claim the "Post" from VFW Post, but you can't claim the West from West Podunk, since you already claimed it from the Post Office and you can't claim any more "VFW Posts" in California.

You can claim Old West Steakhouse and Old West Donuts and West Bank and Bank of the West, but only once per state.

The only exception (or clarification) to this, would be if you found an extra describing qualifier word.
So, if you happened to have already claimed the West Podunk, California Post Office, but in your journeys found the "Oldest Post Office in California," then you can use that photo for one point, using a sign that includes and claiming the "Oldest" word for one point for that location.
