Included with the depot on the National Register of Historic Places, the Railway Express Agency office was built in 1928 to replace an earlier frame building, and served passengers until 1971. It’s located in the depot parking lot. Before UPS and FedEx, express agencies used the rails to move packages throughout the country. Thomasville is known to have had express service since at least 1865.

Nice post, Brian!
That must be a chimney, in the middle-front of the picture? Have never seen one quite like that.
Small towns often have many gems. They are the “bread and butter” of America, and in some ways, far more important than the larger cities.
