The story
In 1935, through the Depression, the war years and the postwar move to the suburbs, the United States Post Office Plymouth Station opened in Plymouth.
It was built in the Classical Revival style, and it still reads that way from the sidewalk.
The National Register of Historic Places listed it in 2024.
