History of the Corry Post Office Removals to New Building
The Corry post office saga traces its growth from 1861 when Caleb Harris became first postmaster and the office started in a small eating house. It moved to First Avenue, then South Center Streets, expanding as political tides shifted. Postmasters include Foreman, Gleason, Button, Cameron, Patterson, Austin, and Colegrove. The 1908 act funded a new $65,000 building, with $100,000 total appropriations, after long delays and local advocacy by Austi n and Desmond. The project culminated in a substantial, city‑ornament post office, despite fiscal and political hurdles.
