US Post Office-Greybull Main
401 Greybull Ave., Greybull, WYThough not yet 50 years old, the Greybull Post Office is of exceptional significance on the local level. As one of only five properties in the State of Wyoming that contain public artwork commissioned by the Treasury Department's Section of Painting and Sculpture during the Depression era, the building carries a strong association with the federal programs designed to provide economic relief. The artwork, which depicts a group of cattle drovers singing in front of the chuck wagon, is an example of the American Regionalism fostered by the Section during the New Deal. The building itself is locally significant in its symbolism of the federal presence and the massive public works programs that were initiated to aid small communities during a period of national economic emergency. Both the mural and the building exemplify the link between the federal government and the community.
Local significance of the building:Listed in National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
