Eagle Pass
Post Office
The first Eagle
Pass Post Office opened in 1849, the same year Fort Duncan was established.
The post office changed locations several times before 1912, when
this building, designed by U.S. Postal Service supervising architect
James K. Taylor, was completed. When a new postal facility opened
in 1964, this building was converted for use as a public library.
It is a well-preserved example of the Renaissance revival architectural
style. |
