Completed in 1938 in Lovelock, Nevada, the U.S. Post Office-Lovelock Main exemplifies Streamline Moderne design through its standardized Starved Classicism aesthetic, as conceived by architect Louis A. Simon. Sited at 390 Main Street, the building was recognized by its NRHP nomination as a symbol of federal acknowledgment of Lovelock's regional importance and as a tangible connection between local citizens and Washington. The structure carries further significance as a legacy of Depression-era public works programs. Its interior features a 1940 mural, *The Uncovering of the Comstock Lode*, painted by Ejnar Hansen, which reinforces the building's role in the era's massive federal initiatives to revitalize the economy. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, it stands as an enduring example of New Deal-era civic architecture in the American West.
