Description

Two post cards featuring the Post Office and Custom House in Pensacola, Florida. No. C 5472. Work began in 1884 after an 1880 fire destroyed the prior customs house. The building was abandoned about 1932 then exchanged in 1938 for Escambia County land where the U.S. Post Office and Courthouse was built. Later used as the "new" Escambia County courthouse. Now houses various county offices. It is located at 223 South Palafox Street. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 22, 1997. Message on back: We are having the time of our lives. Will see you next week - and tell you all it is beautiful. Wish my Kim were with me. Kiss the boy for me. Bell. to Mrs. A. W. Bell. Woodlawn. Alabama.
