Description

Orlando FL U. S. Post Office. No. 5548. This building stood at 44 East Central Blvd., at the corner of Central Blvd. and Court St., between 1917 and 1962. It was a post office between 1917 and 1941. It was known locally as the Federal Building because it housed both the post office and the Orlando office of the IRS. During WW II, it served as the location for draft committee meetings. The post office operations moved to their current location on Jefferson Street in 1941. Ivey's Department store, previously called Yowell-Drew, purchased the property in 1962 and demolished it for a parking lot.
