The old main post office for Columbus is still used as the downtown branch. It has also housed the federal court house and numerous government offices. The classically influenced Renaissance Revival landmark was designed by local architect E. Oren Smith under government contract. The style is commonly found among public buildings constructed circa 1900-1930.

The Columbus architectural firm of Smith & Biggers designed this Mediterranean-style landmark for the R. W. Page Company, which controlled the city’s two leading dailies, The Columbus Enquirer and The Columbus Ledger. The building is presently being expanded and will be the future home of Columbus State University’s College of Education and Health Professions.
