The U.S. Post Office and Courthouse-Littleton Main, also known as Littleton Main Post Office, in Littleton, New Hampshire, was built in 1933. The three story masonry building is an imposing presence on Main Street. It is built out of variegated brick laid in English bond, and trimmed with white marble. Its Colonial Revival facade has a central projecting section that frames a recessed entranceway on the ground floor, and a full Doric temple front on the upper two floors. It served historically as a post office, and as a courthouse of the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
