US Post Office-Rossville Main, also known as Rossville Post Office, is a post office built in 1931 in Rossville, Georgia.[1] It is a brick, two-story building with Georgian Revival style, with a tetrastyle pedimented portico. An eagle emblem is inset to the transom over the double front doors within the portico. It has tall 12 over 12 windows and a tile, mansard roof interrupted by dormer windows.[2]

The original post office in Rossville was in the John Ross House, preserved on the National Register and located just behind this post office. John Ross was a leader of the Cherokee Indians.[2]
