Warren Post Office
The Warren Post Office is a single-story brick building on High Street in Warren, Ohio, designed by architects Harry J. O'Brien, Paul Boucher, and Robert J. Keich and built between 1935 and 1936. The building continues to operate as a working post office while displaying New Deal-era artwork inside that reflects the town's history and character.
The building was constructed in 1935-1936 during the Great Depression, when the Treasury Department funded construction to create jobs and support the economy. It was part of a nationwide effort to build similar post offices across the country and connect small towns with the broader nation.
The building served as a gathering place where townspeople exchanged news and stayed connected over the years. Today, the postal service and its historical character remain part of daily life for Warren residents.
The building is located on High Street in a busy area where many people pass by daily, making it easy to reach on foot. Visitors can approach the post office and view its architectural features and historical elements from the street.
The New Deal artwork displayed inside the building is a rare find, part of a 1930s program that supported artists and brought art into everyday public spaces. These murals or paintings remain visible to visitors today and tell the story of the local community.
