The City Post Office redesign transforms a 1930s post office into a vibrant entertainment space. This project blends a contemporary take on the Roaring '20s with careful preservation of historical elements. Originally built during the Great Depression and later serving as Georgetown's City Hall, the renovation retains intricate wood detailing, original flooring, stone wainscoting, and elegant railings, maintaining the building’s historical character.

The ground floor exemplifies resilience and renewal, offering a Chicago-style steakhouse that combines classic elegance with modern flair. The dining experience reflects the building’s rich heritage while embracing contemporary design. Historical elements are preserved, creating a unique ambiance that honors the past and welcomes the future.
The second floor features a grand ballroom, an opulent space for community events and celebrations. Designed to evoke the grandeur of the 1920s, the ballroom blends historical preservation with modern aesthetics. A playful nod to the era, a hidden speakeasy might be expected in the basement, adding to the building’s imaginative transformation.
