Look to your left for a grand limestone building with a tall, fancy turreted tower-pretty hard to miss with its slate roof, sharp angles, and the kind of presence that almost demands a tip of the hat.
Step back and picture this spot in the 1880s, when this building was shiny and new-built with old-school, load-bearing walls and timber beams that have outlasted plenty of trends and a fair bit of Kentucky weather. Originally serving as both courthouse and post office, it saw serious business-federal law, big decisions, and surely more than a few whispered secrets in the halls-while doubling as Frankfort’s post office until 1965. Back in the day, mailing a letter here would set you back just two pennies, which is basically sixty cents in today’s money… but the stories? Those were priceless. Later, it was given new life as the town library, and these days, it's all academia as part of Kentucky State University. So standing here, you’re face-to-face with a building that's worn more hats than a Kentucky derby crowd.
Alright, if you’re ready for a change of pace, just stroll northeast for one minute and you’ll hit the Corner in Celebrities Historic District.
