The US Post Office-Weymouth Landing is a historic post office building at 103 Washington Street in Weymouth, Massachusetts. The single story stone building was built in 1941, and is locally distinctive as a rare construction in granite. The basic design of the building is similar to other post office designs of the 1930s and 1940s. It has a five-bay facade, three of which project, providing the entrance. The building is topped by a side-gable roof with a wooden cornice, with a louvered belfry topping the roof.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
