William Dewey Foster designs Station T, a Colonial Revival post office for Morrisania
The post office first known as Station "T" went up in 1936 to plans by consulting architect William Dewey Foster, working for the federal Office of the Supervising Architect. It is a two-story brick building five bays wide under a hipped roof, with a recessed one-bay wing. Across the front runs an arcade of five round brick arches, each set back and finished with a limestone keystone.
