Excellent historical hidden gem!!! My imagination was sparked by the early days of cross country travel that this building was part of that era!!! The architect of this building will leave you wanting more to explore and that's what we did!!! The TRE train ride was relaxing and the scenery was captivating to Dallas!!!

I needed to mail a package home while in Fort Worth on business. The postal service worker who helped me was cheerful, helpful and professional. I was in line, so I got to see her interact with customers ahead of me, and we each got first-rate service. Plus, they had Maya Angelou stamps in stock -- something not available, though advertised, at my local post office. I was so pleased, I bought a sheet of these stamps commemorating a great American writer. As a bonus, a Fort Worth website featuring interesting architecture includes the post office among its listings. The building is fairly recent construction and incorporates four bent poles that remind folks of a severe storm that occurred at the location.

This public building on West Lancaster Avenue, next to the Texas Pacific Lofts, which remains a functional stop for the TRE route from Fort Worth to Dallas, was constructed in 1933. It remains a beautiful example of 20th century architecture in which form & function serve to create an example of beauty that people once used for mailing letters & other routine business. The architecture of the building is stunning, with the streetside portico standing on a collannade of classical gigantic columns that have etched images of Longhorns & Hereford cattle on the capitals of the columns. Other iconic imagery adorn the building. The interior of the building is equally breathtaking starting with a lobby that extends the entire length of the building with marbled columns & floors, absolutely elegant. The building is being renovated to allow for increased administrative use, & the exterior is being sandblasted to bring back some of it's original pristine image. Hopefully, the federal government will join the city of Fort Worth in the beautification of the Lancaster street area, & continue with improvements that will disguise the old loading dock area in order to enhance this endeavor. This is a beautiful building, well worth the time & effort to visit. Plenty of free post office customer parking. Customer service is outstanding, pleasant, & unexpected given the often indifferent attitude of many government employees.for mainlyfor simple things such as mailing a letter.enjoyed routinely when conducting business, even just mailing a letter. The columns are of classical design with the capitals displaying engraved images of Texas Longhorn & Hereford cattle, iconic images of the history of Fort Worth. Most impressively is the interior lobby which runs the entire length of the building, & along with exceptionally high ceilings, you experience a sense of admiration for the nostalgic values that once guided the construction of public buildings. The building & the architectural aesthetic that it represents are from another era that we will not see again. Well worth a short stop if you are in the area. Plenty of free post office parking for visitors or customers.

Huge christmas tree and decorations during winter!! I visited late in December. It's very pretty to see and take pictures Christmas decorations in town.

I've been coming in here on an almost-daily basis for nearly 20 years, and still marvel at the architecture. There's recently been a sign posted that this might not be a post office much longer, so if you want to see it, you might not want to wait. Deborah at the window is alway pleasant & helpful.
