Every day it feels like the USPS is one small step away from becoming totally obsolete. Here are some of its coolest buildings that still stand; whether or not you can get the mail through them is another problem.

Three Notch, AL
Clearly not in use any longer, and has not been for awhile. The only thing really notable about Three Notch is that the nearby Three Notch Trail was used by Andrew Jackson in 1813.
