The United States Post Office Old Chelsea Station, originally known as "Station O," stands at 217 West 18th Street in Chelsea, Manhattan. Built in 1935 to designs by consulting architect Eric Kebbon for the Office of the Supervising Architect, this seven-bay, two-story brick building is trimmed in limestone in the Colonial Revival style. Its main entrance features Doric pilasters and a blind stone fanlight with carved eagles, and the interior holds two bas-relief cast stone panels, "Deer" and "Bear," made in 1938 by Paul Fiene. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
