The smallest Post Office in the United States is in Ochopee, Florida in the Everglades. With a total of 61 square feet, it used to be a storage unit for irrigation pipes for an adjacent tomato farm. A fire had destroyed the former Post Office; and the building was converted in 1953. It serves 3 counties including the populations of the Miccosukee and Seminole Native Americans. The second smallest Post Office is the Salvo Post Office in North Carolina on the Outer Banks. It measures 8 feet by 12 feet. Photo Credit: Pixabay

@Tampa_girl7 I cannot say that I really enjoyed the Everglades, too many mosquitoes.

Wow that serves a large area, it seems! And how tiny, it's just about half the size of @JudyEv's very small bank!

As long as it serves the purpose, I am all for such use of limited space where it is lacking. It may not have all services though but the essentials will do.

Man, 3 counties? They're making good use of very little space.

Wow, you’d have to go outside to change your mind at that place! Poor postmaster doesn’t even have a restroom in that place.

Imagine that as their local storm shelter... It has obviously weathered a bunch of hurricanes!

That is a pretty little building. I like white buildings as long as the paintwork isn't too faded or dirty.
