The U.S. Post Office and Customshouse in Everett, Washington served as the city's main post office from 1917 to 1964. The building, designed in the Neoclassical form by Oscar Wenderoth, now houses the offices of the Chicago Title Company.[2][3]
The two-story building's front facade features eight Greek Ionic columns. The reinforced concrete structure is finished with Wilkinson sandstone and granite quarried in Index.[2]
On August 6, 1975, the building, then home to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, was bombed by an unknown assailant at the same time as a federal building in Tacoma.[4]
