Old Athens, Alabama Main Post Office

The Old Main Post Office in Athens, Alabama, is a historic Neoclassical Revival building constructed in 1933 with funding from the Works Progress Administration. Located near the Courthouse Square, it features a striking façade with eight limestone Doric columns and a beautifully designed lobby with marble finishes. After serving as a post office until the 1970s, it was repurposed as the Washington Street Courthouse Annex and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This architectural gem offers a glimpse into the rich history and community development of Athens.
