Description
The main post office in Scarsdale, New York is “a historic post office building … built in 1937 and designed by consulting architects Schultze and Weaver for the Office of the Supervising Architect. It is a symmetrically massed red brick building containing limestone trim in the Classical Revival style. It is composed of a two story central section with flanking one story wings. The front facade features a three bay recessed limestone portico supported by a pair of tall slender Doric order columns. The lobby features two murals by Gordon Samstag titled “Law and Order in Old Scarsdale” and “Caleb Heathcote Buys the Richbell Farm.” (Wikipedia)
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.”
