About This Property

The building operated as the Post Office from 1912 through the 1960s, when a new postal facility opened on N. Main Street. This building was declared surplus and given to the city for use as a library. In  the late 1990s, the City of Temple and Temple College entered into a partnership and used the building for Temple  College. It is was known as the Temple College Downtown Center, which houses the Business Growing Center and  the Business Information Center as well as other school offices.
