Description
The historic post office in Beacon, New York was constructed with Treasury Department funding as part of the New Deal. “Architects Charles Rosen and Gilbert Stanley Underwood produced a Colonial Revival style building in stone, a common building material for many early houses in the Hudson Valley.” The building, which was completed in 1937, houses a striking wraparound New Deal mural.
