Regarding Old Cassville Post Office.

The Cassville Post Office is significant in architecture because it is a good example of a small-town commercial-mixed use building built in Georgia in the late 19th century. This building was built to be the home and office of a widow, who was the town's postmistress. … After the 1915 death of the postmistress for whom it was built, it ceased to be used as a residence.
This post office was served by Mrs. Sallie L. Bruce as postmistress for twenty-seven years, (December) 1887- (July) 1915, and, according to local tradition, this building was built by her brother for her use and livelihood about 1889 or later. … Subsequent postmasters used this building, except for breaks in 1915-1921 and 1934-1935, until 1989, when activities were moved to a new building.
