About this postcard

A three-story neoclassical post office with a red tile roof, a colonnaded entrance portico reached by a broad flight of steps, and an American flag above the cornice. A taller brick commercial block stands behind it at right. The building served Winchester, the seat of Clark County in Kentucky's Bluegrass region, and its classical front gave the federal office a formal presence in the county-seat town.
