Completed in 1933 at 50 South Virginia Street, the Reno Main Post Office is a distinctive Art Deco structure designed by Nevada architect Frederic J. DeLongchamps and built by the MacDonald Engineering Company of Chicago at a cost of $363,660. Recognized as an outstanding example of a combined post office and federal office building for a medium-sized city, it stands as Nevada's sole government-built post office with Art Deco styling, though its overall design follows a "Starved Classical" approach. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. Following energy efficiency renovations in 1986, the structure was sold in 2012 to a local developer and repurposed as a mixed-use facility featuring retail, restaurant, and office space, including an underground level renovation completed in 2015. The current main Reno Post Office has since relocated to Vassar Street.
