The post office in Fort Pierce, Florida
An article by Ramon Trias, formerly posted on the Traditional Neighborhood Development Homes web site, discussed how the City of Fort Pierce is building its future by preserving its past. Trias noted: "Urban post offices are important anchor tenants, especially in a downtown location. Daily drive-in and walk-up customers are guaranteed. Retail establishments benefit from this steady flow. As a civic building, it is a common place for chance meetings and neighborly interaction. ... After successfully retaining its post office downtown, plans are in the works for renovation and preservation." Status: remains in use.
