Georgetown was established as a port of entry to the United States by an Act of Congress in 1779. By 1856, the District was looking for a permanent custom house and funds were apropiated for what was then known as the Georgetown Custom House and Post Office. Designed by Ammi B. Young and completed in 1858, the style of the building provides for simplicity and generalization of classical elements while also lending a classical dignity to the structure. Over the years, it has accommodated the Mayor’s office and other municipal offices for Georgetown, but the first floor continues to serve as a US Postal Service office. Nestled in the heart of Georgetown, Washington DC, the Historic Georgetown Post Office at 1215 31st Street seamlessly blends the charm of turn of-the-century construction with contemporary interiors. With its above-standard ceiling heights and easy access to Northwest DC, Maryland, and Virginia suburbs, it provides a unique and inviting space. Surrounded by a wealth of dining and shopping options, this building is a true enclave of history and convenience in the heart of the city. Experience the extraordinary fusion of modern innovation and vintage charm on the second floor, where massive ceiling heights create a classic open feel. You’ll also find unexpected design elements like a retro staircase and modern flooring patterns, combining classic charm with a contemporary twist.
