The old McKinney Post Office building is the current home of the Collin County Historical Society museum.

 1911 McKINNEY POST OFFICE


DESIGNED BY ARCHITECT J. H. SUTTLE, THE

1911 McKINNEY POST OFFICE IS A CHARAC-

TERISTIC AND WELL-PRESERVED EXAMPLE

OF AN ITALIANATE POST OFFICE. THE TILE

ROOF, ORNAMENTAL COLUMNS, EAVES AND

WINDOW CONFIGURATION ARE COMMON

TO THE AMERICAN POST OFFICE AFTER

1910. THESE ELEMENTS AND THE THREE-

BAY ARCHED RECESSED ENTRY DEFINE THE

FACADE. THE FOURTH POST OFFICE TO

SERVE THE AREA, THE STRUCTURE WAS

DEEDED TO COLLIN COUNTY BY THE FED-

ERAL GOVERNMENT IN 1959 AND IN 1982

BECAME A COLLIN COUNTY MUSEUM.
