The United States Post Office in Greenwich, Connecticut is a post office building also known as Greenwich Main Post Office'. It was built in 1915 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
It was included in the Greenwich Municipal Center Historic District which became NRHP-listed in 1988,[1] and then also included in the Greenwich Avenue Historic District which subsumed that.[3]
It is a uniquely planned building on a triangular site between Greenwich Avenue and Arch Street. The building appears to be one of the last of an era of post office design where government buildings were individually designed and were "intended as monuments to bring Federal ideas and sophisticated architecture to small communities." Other post offices, later, were standardized.[4]:3
