This is not Dayton's oldest post office but is the nicest. If you are there during the daytime when the building is open be sure to take a look inside. The interior is Tiffany. It was built starting in 1913 and the foundation was underwater in the big flood. The building was completed in 1915 and was in use until the new post office on east Fith Street was completed in the 1970's. The federal government planned to tear it down for a parking lot, but the city of Dayton traded some vacant lots for it and saved it from the wrecking ball. It was used as an art gallery for a time. Now it serves as the US Bankruptcy Court and also has several offices.
