The gorgeous and distinctive Rhinebeck post office was built in 1938-9 in the stone Dutch Colonial style popular around the Hudson Valley. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who took a lively interest in the local architecture in Dutchess County, his family's ancestral home, insisted that the model for this post office should be "Kipsbergen," an 18th century Rhinebeck home occupied by his ancestors, the Beekmans.  That house had burned in the early 20th century; some of its stones were used in construction of the post office. FDR, Postmaster General James Farley and Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau Jr. were all present at the dedication...

The historic Englewood Station Post Office on 63d Street in Chicago was built by the U.S. Treasury Department in 1938.   The Moderne-style structure was designed by Howard Cheney in the Treasury's architecture office, directed by Louis Simon. The eight flanking window openings on the facade are two stories tall, framed in concrete. The building is clad in buff-colored brick.
