The U.S. Post Office, also known as the Federal Building & Courthouse, is a historic government building in Gadsden, Alabama. The Beaux-Arts-style building was constructed in 1909.[2] It served historically as a courthouse, as a post office, and as a government office building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 3, 1976.[1]

In 2017, the building was purchased by Campbell Development, LLC, a firm owned by Gadsden natives Anna Campbell and Caleb Campbell. It now serves as a professional office space for a number of businesses. [3]
