Webb-Coleman House, also known as Christian's Post Office, is a historic home located near Chappells, Saluda County, South Carolina. It was built between 1800 and 1825, and is a 2+12-story, five-bay, Federal style farmhouse. It has a gable roof and is sheathed in weatherboard. A one-story, frame wing was added in the mid-19th century and in 1915, a one-story, gable-roofed, frame ell and shed-roofed porch. Also on the property are the contributing mid-to late-19th century cotton house, an early-20th century garage, an early 1930s dollhouse, and an early-20th century tenant house. The house operated as a post office from 1833 to 1844.[2][3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
