Revisiting Longview Washington

So... the last time I was in Longview I was not in my "happy place" as my granddaughter says! Not that I was joyous at this visit but it was very nice and pleasant. I walked to the post office and I had my camera. Battery running low of course! I did come up with a few 1/2 way decent photos of the post office.

The Longview Main Post Office is an integral part of the Longview Civic Center. The building is classically influenced, Art Deco in style and faced in red brick and sandstone. Like the other buildings facing the Park, it is compatible in scale, featuring classical aspects of organization, form and elements of entry. The parapet end gables and slate roof of its frontal wing are similar to the library. The interior features a double-height lobby with a barrel-vaulted ceiling, red and black inlaid marble floors, and walnut paneled walls inset with a gold leaf pattern. Constructed as a Depression Era Public Works project, the Post Office was built to aid the local economy during a period of national emergency.

Good to know it hasn't been torn down or redecorated!
