“The West New York post office, designed under supervising architect Louis Simon of the U.S. Department of Treasury and finished in 1939, exemplifies the growing popularity in the U.S. of modern architectural trends over traditional Classicism. … [T]he building retains its original exterior and a fluted frieze.” (On site historical marker)
