Built between 1938 and 1939 in Lancaster, New York, this Colonial Revival post office was designed by Louis A. Simon of the Treasury Department's Office of the Supervising Architect. The building's interior is distinguished by a mural titled *Early Commerce in the Erie Canal Region*, painted by Arthur Getz in 1940, which reflects the region's historical significance as a commercial thoroughfare. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, it represents one of several post offices constructed during this period across New York State under Simon's architectural direction.
