Photo AlbumNew Deal Post Office 1937 (10 photos)Jun 25, '07 5:59 PM
for everyone

Located on Court Street. Sporting a Maynard Dixon mural and finished in 1937, the Martinez Post Office was funded under a 6 month long New Deal program that preceeded WPA and PWA and under a completely different department: The U.S. Treasury. Another fine feature of this Post Office is its Brass Eagle (a registered National Object) and its brass Eagle post boxes. Although below memo states the PO would be dedicated in January 1937, the opening was postponed 6 months due to a delay in the tile delivery from the East!
