Old Aiken Post Office

The Old Aiken Post Office is a brick structure located at 203 Laurens Street SW featuring classical architectural details and a balanced facade. The building displays traditional federal-style proportions with symmetrical design elements characteristic of early 20th century government buildings.

The post office building opened in 1911 after federal funding was secured from Congress for its construction. The facility served the local community for many decades as a mail distribution center before operations changed.

United States Senator Strom Thurmond and South Carolina Senator Tom Young conducted regular business at this postal facility during their terms.

The building is no longer operating as a post office and is now used for private offices, so visitors cannot access the interior. You can view the exterior facade and architectural details from the public street to appreciate its historical design.

The building transformation from postal facility to corporate offices maintained the original architectural features while adapting to contemporary needs.
