"The Oxford Post Office, was built in 1939-40 during the Franklin D. Roosevelt era. It is one of a large group of, 143, New York State post offices that has been put on the National Register of Historic Places. This handsome, classic architectural government building is of the Colonial Revival style, which Roosevelt took a special interest in. (Some of the Post Offices built in NYS, President Roosevelt actually helped design.) It was built by Smythe Construction Co. of Takoma Park, MD."
