This little post office in New Castle, NH is so charming, it's hard to believe it could ever be abandoned. But when the U.S. Postal Service announced that many of America's POs would close, preservationists worried. The National Trust for Historic Preservation named America's Historic U.S. Post Office Buildings to its 2012 list of endangered buildings. Will we lose wonderful, quaint buildings like this one?
Our gallery of Post Office Buildings in the U.S. showcases nearly twenty of these federal facilities. Some are endangered, but many are already saved and preserved, and some are just too cute and funky to neglect.
