“Long Tabby” & Post Office, Sapelo Island

Exterior view of a U.S. Post Office on Sapelo Island, Georgia, featuring a sign, mailbox, and seating area.

A barely recognizable renovation of “Long Tabby”, one of Thomas Spalding’s plantations, this structure houses the Sapelo Island Post Office today. Virginia O. Horton, who lived on the island in her youth, notes that the post office was once located nearby in a commissary and that Marie Olsen was the postmistress.
