KITTS HILL — A fire in the building that houses the Kitts Hill Post Office destroyed much of an apartment in the rear of the structure Sunday, but fire officials don’t believe anyone’s mail was damaged.

David Van Allen, United States Postal Service communications coordinator, said while the Kitts Hill location is temporarily closed, all mail for residents in that postal district would be routed to the Ironton Post Office.

The fire was mostly contained in the rear apartment, which suffered significant damage. The post office itself suffered considerable smoke damage and minor water damage, Hardy said.

No one was injured and authorities were working Sunday to determine who lived in the apartment.

….the USPS has been in that location since October of 1955.
