Old Post Office, National Register historic post office in downtown Albuquerque, United States

The limestone and stucco building features red clay tile roofing, massive decorative rafter ends, and iron balconies reflecting Spanish Colonial Revival architecture.

Constructed in 1908 under architect James Knox Taylor, this structure became overcrowded, leading to the construction of an additional Federal Building in 1930.

The building represents early 20th-century federal architecture in New Mexico, combining Spanish Colonial elements with governmental building requirements.

Located at Fourth and Gold streets, the structure now houses the Amy Biehl Charter High School after serving as a post office until 1972.

The building's 1932 addition matches the original structure but reveals subtle differences in roof coloring, entry steps, and carved rafter end patterns.

Location: New Mexico

Architects: James Knox Taylor
