United States Post Office–Federal Building

Sarasota · 1984 · Listed on the National Register

What you'll hear here: about a minute on what happened at United States Post Office–Federal Building and around Sarasota — the audio starts on its own when you walk into range.

One historic listing in Sarasota, Florida covers two buildings: the U.S. Post Office–Federal Building and the Social Security Building. This designation covers two buildings: the Federal Building at 111 South Orange Avenue and the U.S. Post Office building at 1611 Ringling Boulevard. Imagine the stories those addresses hold, preserved in the way a city keeps memory.

On March 22, 1984, these two buildings were added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places as part of the Sarasota MRA, a formal recognition that links them to the broader heritage of the community. As you look, notice that this is not a single address but a pair of places joined in one historic listing; the name here includes both titles, U.S. Post Office–Federal Building and the Social Security Building. Stand here and let the facts ground you: two buildings, two addresses, one entry on the National Register from 1984.

Notice the Federal Building at 111 South Orange Avenue and the Post Office at 1611 Ringling Boulevard, both bound by that single 1984 listing.
