Context/Comments

Built in 1937, this post office building was designed and built under the direction of Louis A. Simon (1867-1958), Supervising Architect of the Treasury from 1933 to 1939 and subsequently Supervising Architect for the Public Buildings Administration of the Federal Works Agency.

This building was built from a standardized design that was used for post office buildings in small towns in several other states, including Hodgenville, Kentucky; Wareham, Massachusetts; Delhi, New York; and Emporia, Virginia. (RC, 2021)

This building is mentioned in "Buildings of Mississippi" (2020) (p.139, in the listing for the Old Coca-Cola Bottling Plant, DR68).
