Description

Now known as the Chandler Station post office, this historic former main post office building was constructed with Treasury Department funding. Note that the building is sometimes mis-attributed to the Works Progress Administration (WPA).

“The construction of new postal facilities throughout our country was an integral part of Roosevelt’s New Deal. The Democratic president’s WPA (Works Progress Administration) put thousands to work, including the many artisans and laborers who built the NoHo Post Office. Take time to examine the building’s interior and exterior. On the face of the building rests a handsome cornerstone, bearing the name of James A.Farley, Post Master General.”
