The Bronx Post Office at 558 Grand Concourse is a landmark civic building completed in 1937 by architect Thomas Harlan Ellett. Its restrained classical design features monumental arched windows, granite terraces, and symbolic sculptures at the main entrance.

Inside, visitors will see thirteen New Deal–era murals painted in 1939 by Ben Shahn and Bernarda Bryson. These vivid works, inspired by Walt Whitman’s poetry, celebrate American workers and remain one of the Bronx’s most important public art collections.
