It is interesting to see all the buildings here on Mint Message that are a part of the National Register of Historic Places, or NRHP for short, that show all the forms of American history that can be preserved to help educate future generations about the past of the United States of America. So far, we have listed many historic places in the NRHP that are in the state of Alabama as well as several in Abbeville, SC, and a few in territories & locations overseas. When it comes to Mint Message, we will continue to list important historic locations in the United States, and we have one that is very interesting because it is the kind of building that most people would never consider to be of any cultural or historic value.
Have you ever considered a post office to be a historic building? Well, the United States government has given the reference number 88001001 to the United States Post Office in Fairhope, Alabama. This particular post office has been considered a historic building worth keeping around since July 1st, 1988. You can visit this location for the history or simply to deliver some mail by going to the city of Fairhope & traveling to the address 325 Fairhope Avenue.
This post office was built back in 1932 and it is considered historic due to the architectural style that was used when constructing it. The Neo-Renaissance architecture style – the architectural style that draws from a range of classical Italian building styles & not just those of the Renaissance- was used when constructing this particular post office.
