The U.S. Post Office on 1st St., SW, in Downtown Minot, North Dakota was built in 1915. Its design is credited to Oscar Wenderoth. Since the post office relocated, it is officially known as the Judge Bruce M. Van Sickle Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse or the Van Sickle Federal Building.[2] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1980.[1]

It includes components of Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals and Italian Renaissance Revival architecture.

The building cost $124,000 to construct. According to its NRHP nomination, "Minot citizens were intensely proud of their new federal structure which was considered to be one of the finest in the Northwest and joyously participated in its midnight opening on June 12, 1915."[3]
