Description

Post card of the Post Office in Athens, Ga. No. 10. No. 75155. A great number of educational institutions are located in Athens, and it is no wonder that it is called the Classic City of the South. It is primarily a city of beautiful homes. More beautiful homes can be seen here than any other city of its size in the South. 115 East Hancock Ave. The US Courthouse and Post Office was built on the site of a private home later used by several fraternities and it opened to the pubic on Sept. 3, 1942. Business and professional men conducted an inspection tour on that day. Women were allowed to inspect the building the next day. It continues to be used a a court house and post office.
