An old newspaper clipping reads: York, Pa. Oct.8 (Special) Four miles north of this city, in the borough of Emigsville, there is said to be the smallest postoffice building in the Eastern part of the United States, according to the department records. The town has several hundred residents, but the postmaster, Clarence Charleston, has devised such a system, of mail distribution that no inconvenience and congestion has resulted. The building is a pine board one-room structure, which is only 10 feet long and 7 feet wide. The small building is the borough’s only modest claim to fame.
