The former U.S. Post Office in Hornell, Steuben County, New York, United States, is located on Seneca Street. It was built in 1916 and is one of a number of post offices in New York State designed by the Office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department, James A. Wetmore. It is a neo-Georgian, Colonial Revival style structure. It was vacated by the post office in 1965 and served as offices for the Hornell Board of Education and District Administration until 1989.[2] In August, 2010, the Hornell Post Office, now located at 23 Genesee Street, was renamed the Zachary Smith Post Office after Lance Corporal Zachary Smith who died in Operation Enduring Freedom.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.[1]
