The U.S. Post Office, also known as New Rochelle Post Office, in New Rochelle, New York is a Moderne building built in 1937. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 as the result of a Multiple Property Submission that included 148 post office buildings in the state of New York.[1][2]
