News & Notes: Historic Palmer Square post office building placed on sale

The Palmer Square location of the Princeton Post Office has been placed on sale, a year after the United States Postal Service first announced plans to sell the historic building.

The Postal Service has occupied the 11,500-square-foot building since 1934. Last year, the financially struggling Postal Service announced plans to leave the building and relocate to another site downtown.

The building, which is listed as a historic site on the New Jersey and national registers, contains a controversial 1939 mural that shows Native Americans kneeling to European colonists.

The plot is being sold by real estate firmCharlie Bravo Romeo Edward. A representative told the Town Topicsthat the firm has already received multiple bids, including one from Palmer Square Management, which manages other tenants on Palmer Square. Potential plans for the space include a restaurant, retail shop or gallery. There is a slim possibility that the post office may remain in a small area of the building, if the space were divided up for multiple purposes.
