Former Post Office, Thibodaux, LA.
The old federal post office building in Thibodaux looks a bit different from most that you’ve seen before. It was constructed in 1925-6, before the massive New Deal post office construction push—the building is asymmetrical, it has small ventilation windows above the actual windows and
its cornerstone is marble.
The historic post office building is located at the south side of West 5th Street between St. Louis St. and Green St. However, it no longer serves as such; postal operations were relocated when a new federal building was constructed a bit less than half a mile south along Canal Boulevard, the city’s primary north-south thoroughfare. The ‘20s post office building now
serves as an annex facility for the offices of Lafourche County.
