Graham Post Office

Built in 1935-1936 at a cost of $60,000, this was Graham's seventh post office and its first long-term one. It was one of several federally funded Depression-era projects built in the city. An excellent example of a Moderne style post office of the 1930s, the structure contains an intact mural by regional painter Alexandre Hogue. The building was designed by U.S. Treasury architect Louis A. Simon, and its distinctive features include decorative aluminum grillwork, sculptural metal lights, and Zig-Zag Art Moderne stone friezes. U.S. Postal operations were relocated to another site in 1992.
