Description
The New Deal post office in Whittier, California, was constructed in 1935 with federal Treasury Department funds. It was designed by R. L. Warren, with Louis A. Simon, one of the Roosevelt Administration’s chief New Deal architects, serving as Supervising Architect. Neal A. Melick served as Supervising Engineer.
The building is still in service, but the New Deal mural has been painted over during renovations.
