County Commission
The Neo-Classical Revival style building was designed by Britt Alderman of Atlanta, Georgia. The building is of stone, brick, granite, and Marble adorned with eight large columns with the cutting of the Dogwood Bloom. The front stresses the Southern Colonial type of architecture. After several delays not caused by the contractor the building opened its door Tuesday morning November 14, 1933, the total amount was $59,195.25. Athens’ handsome new post office building was formally dedicated with appropriate exercises at 7:30 o’clock Monday night, Congressman A. H. Carmichael being the guest of honor of the occasion. City Attorney Edward Goodrich, representing Mayor R. H. Richardson, Jr, made a formal dedication in a short address. The dedication exercises included a memorial service to the late Congressman Ed. B. Almon on December 18, 1933.
