United States Post Office (Yerington, Nevada)

The structure of the establishment consists of concrete footings, basement and floor slab, brick walls, and steel framing.

The bronze letters ‘UNITED STATES POST OFFICE’ are attached at the center of the main entrance.

Just like most of the buildings constructed at the time of the Depression era, the Post Office uses Classical symmetry and proportion.

The Post Office and the mural show the efforts of the federal government through its public works and art programs to help communities during a period of economic emergency.

It illustrates a significant type, period, and style of artistic expression that connects with the history of its locality.
