Description
The post office in Fort Payne, Alabama was constructed in 1936 with Treasury Department funds. The building had been home to an example of New Deal artwork, since relocated. Postal operations relocated in 1980 with construction of a new postal facility. The New Deal-era building is now privately owned and, as of 2024, the building seems to be largely abandoned and serving no public-facing function.
