I found a couple of photos in my archives of the Post Office, Customs House and Court building in Port Townsend. It is an imposing sandstone block building that took about eight years to build. Plans changed. Final cost of the structure was just under $242,000.
Opened in 1893, it was the first federally funded post office in Washington state. In the center left of this shot is the entrance to the post office, one of the finer examples of a U.S. Postal Service structure I’ve seen in quite some time.
Here’s a link to more information on the history of this building.
