: Salida Post Office; The Salida Post Office was built in 1935 and was Federal Works Project #183. It was located on the southeast corner of 2nd and E Streets. “This 1935 U.S. Post Office is associated with the Depression era federal programs designed to provide public works employment and stimulate the economy. The Office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Louis A. Simon designed the building. Architecturally, the post office is a good example of the “Starved Classical” style characteristic of many Depression-era public buildings.
