1934, Louis A. Simon. Northeast corner of 2nd St. and 2nd Ave. N.E.

Not a very inspired design, this post office is essentially a brick box which, through a few details—a keystone above the windows, and a lunette—hints at an eighteenth-century Georgian precedent. Inside, however, is a great 1930s WPA mural, Postman in the Snow, by Robert Taylor.
