Construction of the post building – located at the corner of Elm and Third streets across from South Pittsburg City Hall – was completed in 1926 and since then it has been used by the community for social activities in addition to its use by the legion, state officials said.
The local library had rooms in the building and it was used for school classes. The 4-H Club, PTA, boy scouts and WPA are a few of the organizations that held activities in the building, officials said.
