Art Deco Postal Windows at Minneapolis Main Post Office

The historic Minneapolis Main Post Office features these brass-framed service windows, emblematic of the city’s 1930s Art Deco architecture. Completed in 1933 as part of a federal building initiative, the structure was designed by architect Léon Eugene Arnal of Magney & Tusler and remains one of the finest Depression-era public works in the Upper Midwest. The marble-clad lobby and geometric metal detailing reflect the influence of the Works Progress Administration’s design aesthetic—modern yet monumental—built to symbolize reliability and civic pride during a period of national recovery.
