 Throughout the country, the U.S. Postal Service is decommissioning and selling historic buildings in downtown locations to recover from its financial crisis. Unable to retain their original function, some buildings are being saved through innovative reuse. The Greenwich Post Office Project in Greenwich, Connecticut is an inspirational example of this solution. Constructed from 1915 to 1917, the Greenwich Post Office was one of the last individually designed offices before U.S. Post Office architecture was standardized for use in many communities. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places individually and as part of the Greenwich Avenue Historic District. Inspired by the building's neoclassical structure, concave arch historic facade, and monumental limestone columns, Greenwich Retail LLC purchased the building from the U.S. Postal Service in 2011 and joined forces with restoration hardware, now RH, to transform the statuesque building at the heart of Greenwich into a home furnishings gallery. A preservation covenant placed on the property as a condition of the sale required exterior rehabilitation according to the secretary's standards. The Greenwich Post Office Project focused on restoring the exterior envelope while creating new interior spaces that harmonized with the building's original style. Some of the building's new features include interior sightlines that line up with the original windows and a grand staircase that leads to a sunken roof deck, minimally visible behind existing parapets. A fully restored north facade, including exterior limestone, buff brick, and historic iron lanterns, remains as the building's prominent historic feature. Now serving as a stunning retail space, RH Greenwich provides a model solution to the problem of disappearing historic post offices throughout the country.
