Rustic American restaurant located in the renovated Old Camden Post Office featuring an Award Winning Wine selection, a wide variety of southern dishes, and craft beer on tap. In the early 1970's the building was scheduled to be demolished, but was saved in an effort that led to it being listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. It was then sold in 2010 and after an 18 month reno
vation the Old Camden Post Office was reborn as Postmasters Grill. Construction of the Post Office began on February 21, 1895, under the supervision of architect Asa S. Morgan with the expensive budget of $39,000; a great deal of money at the turn of the century. The stone and pressed brick is an outstanding example of Richardson Romanesque, a style uncommon in Arkansas, featuring exterior moldings and an impressive oriel window sheathed in copper overlooking the entranceway. Shortly after its completion on March 31, 1896 the local press proclaimed that Camden, then population 5,000, was probably the smallest town in the United States with a federal government building. Camden, an important port on the Ouachita River, exported over twenty thousand bales of cotton per year and was the hub of a burgeoning lumber industry that operated in the dense Arkansas forests.
