   "No specimens of good architecture in the country are better fitted to exert
   a beneficial influence upon the general development of our building than
   these post-office buildings ... placed in the smaller cities where they are
   often the most important structures in their neighborhoods, so that they
   stand as examples of what we should like to see done by the cities and by the
   citizens themselves."
    
   Franklin Mac Veagh, Secretary of the Treasury, 1909-1913
    
   "Post Office (TM) and Old Post Office (TM) are trademarks of the United
   States Postal Service and are used with permission, under license."
 * REALIZING A DREAM
   
   FROM CHILDHOOD AWE GREW A DESIRE TO RESTORE
   
   “My father and I stopped at Mr. Rutland’s pawn shop on our way to a dove
   shoot to buy shotgun shells. Standing at the foot of the front steps, the
   post office (TM) was the largest thing I’d ever seen. Somehow I made it to
   the top of the steps and froze at the revolving door. Dad realized he’d lost
   me and came out to carry me inside. Once we were in the lobby with the marble
   and the huge domed ceilings, I remember being shocked. When we got back in
   the truck, I said, ‘Daddy, that’s going to be my building one day.’ He
   laughed, but he didn’t discourage me.”
    
   
   The Old Post Office (TM) is currently owned Jeff Davis, IV. As related in the
   anecdote above, Mr. Davis's fascination with the building began when he was
   just 5 or 6 years old. Years later, in December 2011, Davis realized his
   dream, and acquired the Old Post Office (TM).
   
    
   
   Aided by original blueprints and 1,500 pages of century-old correspondence
   from the National Archives, Davis and his team met the restoration challenge,
   restoring and replacing original fixtures and removing added walls, including
   a second story courtroom added during Prohibition.
   
    
   
   REVOLVING DOOR
   
   Davis and his team restored the beautiful revolving door that captured his
   attention as a child. The marble floor just inside the door is indented with
   the steps of the generations of Dubliners who have passed through the door.
   FLOODED WITH LIGHT
   
   With the courtroom removed, the lobby is lit by natural light. The original
   blueprints, recovered from the building's attic, are displayed under archival
   glass. Davis restored the few remaining post office (TM) boxes, and collected
   additional period-appropriate extras to complete the original bank of boxes
   facing the west lobby. Luckily, despite numerous prior modifications,
   original light fixtures, vaults, and even eletrical conduits remain.
   AS INTENDED
   
   Stripped of many coats of white paint, the restored arched windows shine as a
   testiment to the importance of historical preservation and restoration.
   REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT
   
   On April 26, 2013, the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation awarded The
   Old Post Office (TM) the Marguerite Williams Award for Excellence in
   Restoration.
    
   Davis has moved his Information Technology contracting firm, Alterra
   Networks, to the main and top floors of The Old Post Office (TM). A
   colocation center is housed in the 4,500 square foot basement. Colocation
   centers are secure facilities with backup power generators and massive
   cooling systems that house hardware and software systems for clients. Most
   users of a colocation center desire to have a secure offsite backup of their
   critical data. Geographic separation is also a plus – a firm in Savannah, for
   example, would want its backup data out of the hurricane zone for disaster
   recovery purposes. Entities that have outgrown the current IT facilities on
   their campuses can also benefit from relocating assets that need to be
   retained but not front line production critical in a colocation center.
    
   Davis explains, “I have a client who is looking at a six figure capital
   expansion project. He was about to take space from another department in his
   facility to expand his IT shop. Besides displacing another department, he was
   going to have to purchase generators, battery backups, cooling systems,
   network electronics and cabling, and staff it all when he was done. Now he
   gets to dodge an unpopular capital project by locating his equipment in the
   Old Post Office (TM) for a monthly fee. That’s a win-win in my book.”
   
   There are so many winners in this project. A 100 year old landmark has been
   saved, restored, and put back right for the next century. A local business
   has expanded and been assisted by a City and Downtown Development Authority
   that is passionate and committed to making businesses succeed downtown.
   Downtown Dublin will gain 15 new residents and an established business. The
   community banks that fund Davis and Alterra Networks have a solid project to
   finance.
    
   “To have the Old Post Office (TM) look like 1912 upstairs and 2112 downstairs
   is amazing”, says Davis. “We’ve just been very blessed…there is no place else
   I’d rather be.”
