This is the current U.S. Post Office in Rainier. It was built in the 1990s. When it was built, A Street had to be extended slightly. The street originally ended at the intersection with West Second Street. Though Charles Fox started a Post Office in 1851, Rainier's first government Post Office opened in 1863 and was located in a store building at the corner of East 5th Street and A Street East. The Rainier Post Office has never been in a building owned by the U.S. Postal Service. Even the current building is only leased.
