Why it's listed
Located on Main Street in the center of Mount Kisco, this 3.8-acre civic complex groups a town and village hall, a post office, a library and a war memorial. The Town/Village Hall opened in December 1932. It is a two-story brick building with a slate roof, a clock tower, and a portico of four Ionic columns. The smaller Post Office followed in 1936, built with federal funding in the 1930s, and its barrel-vaulted lobby holds two oil-on-canvas murals by Thomas Donnelly showing an Indian cornfield and Mount Kisco in 1850. Architect Mott B. Schmidt designed both buildings as compatible interpretations of Georgian and Colonial design. A 1962 library by William and Geoffrey Platt and a war memorial are too recent to count as contributing. The complex was recognized as an important local landmark and community center, valued for its Colonial Revival architecture, its park-like setting, and its continuing role in local government.

What listing means for this property
This is a historic district. Buildings within its boundary are either contributing (they add to the district's significance) or non-contributing. Owners of contributing income-producing buildings can claim the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit; homeowners should look at state credits. National Register districts impose no design review by themselves; a local historic district ordinance, if one exists, does (the difference explained).
