About this postcard
A two-story post office with a colonnade of Ionic columns across the front, tall windows, and a low parapet roof stands on a street corner in Georgetown, Kentucky. A paved sidewalk runs along the facade, and the road in the foreground is unpaved. Georgetown is the seat of Scott County in the Bluegrass region, and the classical portico follows the federal government's habit of giving its post offices a formal civic face. The building's size and detailing place it among the substantial public structures that anchored small Kentucky county seats in the early twentieth century.
