The US Post Office—Winchester Main is a historic post office at 48 Waterfield Road in Winchester, Massachusetts. The single story Classical Revival brick building was built 1927-28 by John P. Curley for the United States Postal Service. The building features neo-Classical temple fronts on its three principal facades, with a more elaborate projecting instance on the long south-facing facade, where the main entrance is located. The cornice has a simple dentil moulding in limestone; the roof is flat, but there is a raised clerestory section in the center.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987,[1] and included in the Winchester Center Historic District in 1986.[2]
