It was designed by James A. Wetmore of the Office of the Supervising Architect.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the building is an excellent early example of the Starved Classical style with notable craftsmanship, especially in its brickwork. It is also locally important as the first federal building in Marysville. Its terracotta panels reflect the design output of the Supervising Architect's office in the early 1930s.","narrative":"Marysville's main post office at 407 C Street was begun in 1932 and occupied in 1934, designed by James A. Wetmore of the Office of the Supervising Architect. It sits two blocks east of the town's commercial center among several 19th century buildings. The brick building is an early example of the Starved Classical style, with a rigidly symmetrical three-part facade and a recessed central entrance. Terracotta ornament includes a relief of an eagle on a stylized Corinthian capital over the door, and hexagonal plaques showing airplanes, a sailing ship, a steam ship, a locomotive and eagles. Additions made in 1978-1981 left the original facade and south elevation untouched, and the new walls use matching brick and casts of the original terracotta. The lobby remodeling did damage interior integrity. The building was recognized for its design, its fine brickwork, and its local importance as the first federal building in Marysville.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":"James A.
