This stunning Guntersville Post Office was erected in 1941 and ran until 2007 when a new one was built. Constructed in the Colonial Revival Style at a cost of $115,000 from the Public Works Agency, the post office offered state-of-the art equipment including a stamp cancelling machine.

A painting known as "Indians Receiving Gifts'' is located inside. The mural was the creation of a Florida artist, Charles Russell Hardman, who painted murals in 22 other post offices in Alabama with funds from the U.S. Treasury Department.

The building is on the National Register of Historic Places. You can stroll past when you in downtown to admire its beauty next time you .
