Additional Comments
THE EVANSVILLE POST OFFICE WAS LOCATED ON THE MAIN FLOOR OF THIS BUILDING FOR MANY YEARS. STILL CONTAINS THE ORIGINAL FLOORBOARDS.

"The Evansville Post Office was located on the main floor of this building for many years. The original floorboards, still extant in the space, bear the wear marks of many customers' trips to the post office counter in the days before home delivery of the mail." Evansville Historic Preservation Commission, Historic Evansville Walking Tour brochure, 2014.
