The Jackson Post Office in Jackson, Kentucky, at the intersection of Hawk and Broadway, was built in 1916. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
It is a three-story rectangular light brown brick building. The building, whose design is credited to Oscar Wenderoth, cost $85,000 to build. Besides the post office, it housed a federal courthouse, an Army Recruiting Station, and a county health board. The post office and federal court offices have since relocated away.[2]
Now used as apartments.
