The United States Post Office in Watkins Glen, New York, is a two-story red brick structure completed in 1934–1935 as part of a broader New Deal initiative. Designed by Louis A. Simon, the Office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department, the building exemplifies Colonial Revival architecture with subtle Art Deco influences characteristic of federal post offices of the era. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, it stands as one of numerous post offices Simon designed across New York State during the Depression.
