The Nashville Post Office is a historic post office building at 220 North Main Street in Nashville, Arkansas. It is a single-story brick building, roughly square in shape, with restrained Art Deco styling. The main entrance (facing west) is flanked by pilasters, and topped by two courses of windows also flanked by pilasters, each stepped back from the lower level. The public lobby area inside is decorated with a mural, painted in 1939 by John Tazewell Robertson, entitled "Peach Growing". The post office was built in 1936-37, and the mural was funded by the Treasury Section of Fine Arts.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]
