This huge limestone structure from architect Wyatt C. Hendrick takes up an entire city block. It was constructed in 1933 right next to the Texas and Pacific Railroad Terminal for easy access to mail trains. It is of primary interest as a visual delight, with its 16 classical columns displaying Texas cattle and a beautiful marble-lined lobby. Located within the same neighborhood as Burnett Park and St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, this building is a good incidental stop for pedestrians with a love of turn-of-the-century architecture. It entered the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

yelpLoved coming here for the history and architecture. Troy was my favorite clerk but he moved to Seminary hill
MoreVery helpful and efficient services. Make an appointment if an option for your service. Beautiful and historic building to visit with historic post office mementos on display.
MoreOnce again, amazing staff! Lezlee helped me get my package together and BOY was it a challenge. Still don't know how she figured out how to put things together after I couldn't piece things...
MoreI am so sorry if I butcher your name (the name tag spelled Lezlee). I just wanted to say the most amazing smile and upbeat personality. I felt welcomed and I honestly could see why this location...
MoreInteresting that this Post Office is NOT ADA compliant! Just because the building is almost 100 years old should not exempt it from providing at least one entrance accessible by a ramp for folks...
