Lincoln Park Post Office, Lincoln Park, MI - WPA Projects on Waymarking.com

Commissioned through the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1938, the Lincoln Park Post Office was the first non-branch post office in this Detroit suburb Architect Louis A. Simon designed the classicist building, which is typical of Depression era architecture. The building's interior was lavishly decorated with special materials including several types of marble, birch paneling, and maple flooring. Although sparse in detail, three carved stone panels above the main entrance symbolize the modes of transportation by which mail was delivered at the time: by surface, by air, and by water.

Today the building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is home to the Lincoln Park Historical Museum.
