#FlashbackFriday with the Historical Society: U.S. Post Office

It’s time once again for #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society.

Yesterday, December 15, was the busiest day for the U.S. Postal Service during the Christmas season, so what better image to present than Whitewater’s own post office building.

The building, completed in 1936 is a fine example of the streamlined Classical Revival style buildings constructed by the federal government during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Before moving to this new building, Whitewater’s post office was located on Main Street, for the longest time at 137 Main St. (1875-1920s), now part of Gus’s Pizza.

Join us next week for more from the Whitewater Historical Society.
