Per a Texas Historical Marker attached to its outside wall:
"From 1856, when Comfort's postal station was established, until this building was constructed in 1910, the town's post office was housed in various mercantile stores. In 1910, while Hermann Ingenhuett was serving as postmaster, this building was completed. Designed by noted San Antonio architect Alfred Giles, the Renaissance Revival style structure exhibits Giles' talent for blending red brick and limestone. It remained in use as a post office until 1952."
