Location History & Current Status
The Federal Building depicted in this postcard was designed in the classical revival style and opened in the early 1900s to serve as the main United States Post Office and federal court building for East St. Louis, Illinois. Located on Missouri Avenue, the imposing granite-and-stone structure reflected the rapid industrial expansion of East St. Louis during the early 20th century. Over the decades, postal operations relocated to newer facilities, and the building underwent renovations to continue serving as a federal court and government office hub (the Melvin Price Federal Courthouse). It remains an important historic architectural landmark in downtown East St. Louis.
