Built in 1911 and designed by James Knox Taylor in the Renaissance Revival style, the United States Post Office and Courthouse in Waycross, Georgia reflects both Renaissance and "Romano-Tuscan" architectural influences. The original single-story structure with basement featured a tile roof; a 1936 expansion by G. W. Stone added a second story and two-story wings at each end, bringing the building to approximately 21,700 square feet. The interior is finished with terrazzo and maple hardwood floors (except for cork tile in the second-floor courtroom), marble stairs and door facings, and oak woodwork. Originally serving as a federal courthouse and post office until 1975, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and has since been occupied by the Southeast Antique Exchange.
