It was expanded with a rear wing in 1910 at which time interior offices were modified as well, to serve as a post office, which it did until 1965. In 1965 it housed the Paul Sawyier Library until 2008 when the library moved to the brick building next door. Today it is Downtown Annex for Kentucky State University. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
The limestone building with a steeply sloped slate roof was designed in the Second Empire and Châteauesque styles. It is a three-story 54 feet (16 m) by 94 feet (29 m) building built of masonry load-bearing walls with timber beams and trusses.
