Description
The historic former post office in Bristol, Connecticut was originally constructed during the early 20th century. An extension was added to the building as part of a New Deal project, which was completed in 1937 with federal Treasury Department funds. The building, which was located on the west side of Main Street at Riverside Avenue, has since been demolished.

The PO in question sat on the west side of north Main St at approx 199 – 201. It was razed thus allowing Riverside Ave to continue westward past Main St, where before it was a three way intersection.
Thanks! Updated accordingly. I also found a historic map confirming this and gee, the river has been covered too?
