The architect was Ayres & Ayres, San Antonio. The contractor was Templeton-Cannon. The Post Office moved here from rented space on Water Street in 1936.
With the help of James Avery and Bank of The Hills, Kerr Arts & Cultural Center Inc bought the old Kerrville Post Office in July of 1999, and held its first show in March 2000. Ten years of renovations transformed the building’ interior into a beautiful functional art gallery, complete with adapt educational facilities.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.
A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.
If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
