Which U.S. city has a post office that doesn’t fly the American flag?
Boston
Williamsburg
Philadelphia
Charleston
Fact: Philadelphia’s B. Free Franklin Post Office is the only active post office in the United States that does not fly the American flag. Named in honor of Benjamin Franklin — the nation’s first Postmaster General — the building is designed to resemble an 18th-century post office. Because the Stars and Stripes had not yet been created during Franklin’s tenure, the site maintains historical authenticity by not flying the flag. This makes it a unique and fascinating exception within the U.S. postal system. The name of the post office is a nod to how Franklin signed his mail in protest of British rule.
