The Old Post Office building was constructed in 1916. The two-story blond brick building was constructed by a real estate firm to serve as a post office. The building was constructed by J.N. Parham. The post office moved into the building in October 1916. The building housed both the post office and drug store in 1918. The post office continued to occupy the building until its new building completed in 1931. After the post office moved out the building was remodeled into a modern business building for the W.W. Virtue Dry Goods Company which opened in 1932.

The building is in good condition and now is occupied by a clothing store and a hair salon.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.

A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
