The Old Perry Post Office is a historic site in Perry, Florida, located at 201 East Green Street. On May 11, 1989, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.[1]

The post office was built in 1935. It is a one-story-with-mezzanine structure which is vernacular in style but with modest elements of Mediterranean Revival.

The building included a publicly funded mural installed in 1938. The mural is a panel painted by George Snow Hill (1898–1969) which is titled "Cypress Logging", depicting the lumber industry of the area. (See #14 in accompanying photos.) The panel was moved to a new site, the new Perry Post Office, in 1987. A photographic reproduction of the mural was to be posted in the Old Perry Post Office, as of the NRHP listing.[2]
