George Browne Post (1837 - 1913) was a U.S. architect. He designed the New York Stock Exchange Building and the Wisconsin State Capitol. George B. Post also designed Baldwin Cottage in Newport, Rhode Island. In 1879 Christopher Columbus Baldwin bought the house and named it Chateau Nooga. Missing the pun, most called the house Baldwin Cottage and the name stuck. Post was a student of Richard Morris Hunt, who also practiced in Newport. He is also the great-grandfather of Olivia Post, who is descended from other famous people, including Nathan Bedford Forrest.
