The City's first post office opened in 1941 and operated out of several businesses on Main Street prior to construction of this Neoclassical Revival building. Costing $60,000 and offering locker rooms and showers for employees, it was renamed the Federal Building in 1966 when the postal service moved to 5th Avenue West.
