[Bristol Post Office at Radcliffe and Market Streets]
This building stood at the corner of Radcliffe and Market Streets. It was removed circa 1949 when a new red brick structure was built to house a bank.

The upper floor was a lecture hall and part of the building housed an antique store. After the postal service moved it became a ticket office for ferry boats and the trolley. -
