Simon.","why_significant":"It is an intact example of small-scale Colonial Revival federal post offices built during the Great Depression. Its three-bay facade with side entrance and its segmentally arched openings and pedimented gable are unusual among New York post offices. It also holds a well-preserved 1941 mural, \"Apple Pickers,\" by Thomas Donnelly, painted for the Treasury Department's Section of Fine Arts.","narrative":"Facing the village park at 26 South Park Street in Clyde, this small red brick post office was built between August 1940 and March 1941 as part of the federal public works program of the Depression era. Its design came from the office of Supervising Architect Louis A. Simon and uses simple Colonial Revival forms: a pedimented gable with a round window, segmentally arched openings, multi-pane windows and a pilastered side entrance. Only three bays wide, it is one of four closely related small post offices in New York State, sharing its plan with the one in Honeoye Falls. Inside, the lobby keeps its terrazzo floor, marble wainscot and oak paneling. A mural titled \"Apple Pickers,\" painted in 1941 by Thomas Donnelly for the Treasury Department's Section of Fine Arts, shows a contemporary local scene. The building is valued as a well-preserved, modest example of 1930s federal architecture and art.","period_of_significance":"1940-1","architect_builder":"Louis A.
