The Old Post Office is a Beaux Arts-style building in downtown Iowa City, Iowa, United States.^[1] Built of Indiana Limestone in 1904, the post office was expanded in 1931. It remained the city's central post office until 1975, when a new facility was built. After two years of vacancy, it was bought by the Iowa City/Johnson County Senior Center; it was selected over other sites due to its central location. Four years of renovations, concluded in September 1981, resulted in its opening as a senior center.^[2] On April 17, 1979, midway through the renovation, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.^[1] Today, the center serves thousands of area residents monthly; nearly 90,000 visits were made to the center in 2003, of whom approximately 2/3 were lower-income.^[2]
