Built just 30 or so years after Colorado was admitted into the union, a post office in the southeastern town of Hasty is being listed for sale with an asking price of $135,000.
Located at 101 S. Main Street, the wooden Hasty Post Office structure was built in 1908 and has for decades served as the town’s postal facility, with apartment space located on the second floor.
Measuring 3,800 square feet., the building is an institutional mainstay in a town said to have taken on its unusual name due to the hasty manner in which tents and small houses were built to accommodate workers for an Army Corps of Engineers project.
Set in a defined Opportunity Zone, the less than half-acre site containing the post office building also features a nearly 1,000 square foot metal building currently rented out as an antique shop.
Listed with the realtor SVN Commercial of Denver, the post office structure is classified as a Class B building.
The town of Hasty has enjoyed a modest population growth in the last decade from 96 people to its current 129.
