Built in 1937, the United States Post Office in Larchmont, New York represents the Colonial Revival style that dominated federal post office construction in the state during the interwar period. Designed by consulting architect William Dewey Foster, the building was erected as part of a broader Depression-era initiative by the Treasury Department's Office of the Supervising Architect to provide employment for jobless architects, engineers, and construction workers while addressing the nation's need for new federal facilities. The functional design reflects the economic constraints of the 1932–1942 construction surge, employing restrained ornamentation characteristic of the era. The interior features two realistic murals commissioned by the Treasury Department's Section of Painting and Sculpture, painted by accomplished New York landscape artist Thomas H. Donnelly and unveiled in 1939, depicting the Larchmont Manor House and Larchmont Yacht Club. The post office was later listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of a Multiple Property Submission encompassing approximately eighty Colonial Revival buildings.
