Description
The post office in Claremont, CA, was constructed by the federal Treasury Department between 1935 and 1936. The design is Spanish (or Mexican) Revival, which was very popular in Southern California at the time. Still in use today, the post office houses a New Deal mural by Milford Zornes (see linked project).
