Historic Architecture Downtown Richmond:
A Walking Tour

Indiana Football Hall of Fame
     U.S. Post Office Federal Building
North "A" and 9th Street

French Renaissance (1904-1905)

The design of this building was provided by the office of the supervising architect of the treasury, James Knox Taylor. This architecture gave the Post Office identifiable, specifically governmental quarters as opposed to rented ones. The raised basement and walls, of Bedford limestone, impart a suitable monumentality, linking this as a government building like others in Washington, D.C., and in the nation. The Indiana Football Hall of Fame now occupies the building.
