Post Office of Starr, South Carolina

The Starr Post Office is located in Anderson County, South Carolina. Starr was once a busy rail community. The town now boasts a population of less than 200 people. It was named after Captain Willington William Starr, a treasurer for the railroad company. Now what remains are the hallmarks of a small rural town, the post office, and a few other buildings. The window arches, fanlights, and brickwork highlight the beauty of the building.
