Lancaster U.S. Post Office building
Lancaster U.S. Post Office building, Federal post office building in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
The limestone structure spans fifteen bays with a mansard roof, Tuscan pilasters, and a distinguished balustrade along the front elevation at 50 West Chestnut Street.
Construction of the federal building occurred between 1928 and 1930 under the direction of Acting Supervising Architect James A. Wetmore from the Office of the Supervising Architect.
The National Register of Historic Places recognized this federal building in 1981 for its representation of early 20th-century American civic architecture and postal services.
The post office building currently functions as the corporate headquarters for Auntie Anne's while maintaining its status as a federal postal facility.
Before the post office construction, the 1.5-acre site contained both a Lancasterian School and a Moravian graveyard in the urban center.
