From the California Office of Historic Preservation:
"The 1937 Ukiah Post Office constituted the largest single federal public works project for inland Mendocino County in the 1930s. The U.S. Treasury Department adapted one of its standardized architectural
concepts, creating a structure that exemplifies the Streamlined Moderne style—clean lines and simplicity arising from the modern and progressive self-image of the New Deal— and it also retains beautiful ornamentation that evokes both older architectural traditions and the pride that Americans felt for their public structures. The U.S. Treasury-sponsored lobby mural is “Resources of the Soil” by Ben Cunningham." (
