Salvo Post Office is a historic post office building located at Salvo, Dare County, North Carolina. It was built about 1910, and is a small frame building measuring 8 feet by 12 feet. The interior consists of the post office lobby and the postmaster's workroom. It reflects a unique tradition of a portable building being purchased by succeeding postmasters and moved to their respective properties. It is recognized by the U.S. Postal Service as the second-smallest post office building in the nation, after the Ochopee Post Office in Florida. It was restored after being damaged by fire in October 1992.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[1]
