The Old Post Office Building is a historic building on Crescent Street in Brockton, Massachusetts. The two story brick Colonial Revival style post office was built in 1898 and expanded in 1932. It was designed under the auspices of the federal government's supervising architect, James Knox Taylor, as a copy of Independence Hall in Philadelphia.[2] The building was renovated in 1977 and became home of the Brockton Public Schools central administration offices.

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
