B. Free Franklin Post Office
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (PA), US
In 1975, a Colonial-themed post office opened in a building once owned by Benjamin Franklin, the nation's first Postmaster General.

The post office is a part of Franklin Court, which also features a postal museum, an 18th Century printing and binding room, and a Benjamin Franklin museum. Franklin's former home stood in the courtyard, but was razed in 1812.
