It was made of cut stone and included marble floors and wainscoating inside. This building was torn down in about 1965. According to oldtimers, the demolition crew had quite a job and it took longer than expected. Another gem of the county, lost to 'progress'.

This is postcard is dated 1911 and was sent to Mr. E.P. Stephan, from his friend, James DeYoung who wrote, "This building has no imitation stone and cost about $5,000 without the land. It is one of the finest P.O. buildings I have seen for the money".
The building was closed in 1961 and the Owosso Post Office moved to 319 N. Washington St. and the old post office was torn down in about 1965, which continues to irritate those who remember this fine old building.
