United States Post Office And Courthouse (Waycross, Georgia)
It is a two-story building with basement of approximately 21,700 square feet in size. The original building of 1911, designed by James Knox Taylor, was one story with basement and with a tile roof. The 1936 expansion, designed by G. W. Stone, added the second story and two-story wings at each end, and has a composition roof. Floors in the building are terrazzo and maple hardwood, except the second floor courtroom's floor is cork tile. Stairs, door facings and wainscoting are in marble. Woodwork is oak.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It was only ever used as a courthouse and post office, and the building had been empty from 1975 until at least 1980. It now houses the Southeast Antique Exchange.
