The Oyster Bay Post Office was completed in 1936. New York architect William Bottomley designed this colonial revival structure to mirror the Town Hall across the street. Inside are murals by the prominent American artist, illustrator and author Ernest Peixotto, depicting scenes in Oyster Bay from 1653 to 1936.
