The Providenciales Post Office (officially known as the George Brown Post Office), owned and operated by the Turks and Caicos Government, is located in the Downtown area of the island near a number of shopping plazas and less than 3 minutes from the Providenciales International Airport.

The Place
Featuring bright white paint, red roofing, and a modern and stylish design, the newly renovated complex was completed and opened to residents in June 2019. The new post office was a welcome addition to the downtown area and a much-needed improvement from the previous Post Office building, which was in the same location.

The Person
The Post Office was named after George Brown, the first postmaster in the Turks and Caicos. In addition to his role as postmaster, Brown was also the district constable for the settlement of Blue Hills, one of the original settlements on Providenciales. He registered births and deaths, was the foreman for government works, the paymaster, and was the custodian of several government properties. -George Brown Post Office
