Note
Notes: Post Office and office building designed by Francis Luis Abreu on a commission from pioneer developer Tom Bryan. Construction was started in 1926 but was interrupted by the 1926 hurricane. Originally designed as a three story building, with post office and stores on the first floor and a hotel on the two upper floors, it was finished after the storm as a one story building. In later years the building was used as a grocery store and was returned to use as a post office in the 1970s. The building was demolished in 2006.
