This week's "Turnback Tuesday" is a picture of the Derby Post Office on Olivia Street built in 1932.
The first Derby Post Office was actually on Main Street and was built in 1798. The current Post Office is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
It served as a fall-out shelter during World War II and has changed from this picture since being made ADA compliant in the 1990s.

Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
