DescriptionOld Belleview Post Office, Sycamore Street and 7th Street, Belleview, KY - 52726305531.jpg
English: Originally located on Main Street in Belleview, this Carpenter Gothic Revival-style building was constructed circa 1880 for Jonas Clore, whom also owned the Jonas Clore House that originally sat next door. The building housed a basket shop during its early years before becoming a doctors office around the turn of the 20th Century. Between about 1920 and 1970, the building housed the Belleview Post Office. According to aerial imagery, in 2004-2005 the old post office and the adjacent historic house, which stood in the way of the northward expansion of the Belleview Baptist Church, were moved approximately 800 feet southeast of their original location to a previously open field at the corner of 7th Street and Sycamore Street, and the house was expanded with an addition that included a garage. As part of the move, the house was rotated 180 degrees from its original orientation, with the front facade now facing north instead of south. The wood-frame building features wooden clapboard siding, a side gable roof covered in standing seam metal with decorative wooden Gothic Revival-style trim on the eaves, six-over-six double-hung windows, and the original doors, which are sheltered by shed canopies. The structure today sits in the back yard of the Jonas Clore, behind the garage portion of the 2005 addition to the house. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
