The Yellowstone Main Post Office is a historic post office in Yellowstone National Park in Mammoth, Wyoming, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
Description
The Yellowstone facility is an understated classical structure with a low hipped roof and rounded dormers that uses a plan and a basic design vocabulary similar to that used in other post offices in the program. However it also includes restrained French Renaissance Revival elements, the only post office in the western United States to merge these two styles.[2] It is somewhat at odds with the prevailing design theme expressed in other buildings in the former Fort Yellowstone district.[3] The Yellowstone Main Post Office is also a contributing property to the Mammoth Hot Springs Historic District.[2]
History
The post office was built in Mammoth Hot Springs as part of a facilities improvement program by the United States Post Office Department (USPOD). It was nominated to the (NRHP) as part of a thematic study comprising twelve Wyoming post offices built to standardized USPOD plans in the early twentieth century.[2]
