Post Office

110 South Miami Street

Built: 1912

Style: Neo-Classical

Designed by John Knox Taylor, Supervising Architect of the U.S. Treasury Department, the Post Office opened its doors on April 20, 1912. Fremont Ward acted as the Superintendant of Construction for the erection of the $70,000 structure.

The Neo-Classical style of the Post Office is seen in the four fluted Doric columns and in the projecting portico with pediment. An open balustrade above a cornice with ornamental modillions is seen on each façade of the building. One story and square in plan, this structure rests on a granite foundation with a façade of dressed Bedford limestone.
