The United States Post Office–Great Barrington Main, located at 222 Main Street in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, is a historic post office building completed in 1936. Designed by architect Lorimer Rich, it stands out for its neo-Classical architecture, deviating from the standardized plans mandated by the Postal Service at the time. The building features a brick exterior with marble and concrete details, including a wooden portico supported by Doric columns. Inside, visitors can find the postmaster's office and a unique arrangement of post office boxes. This post office has served the community since 1797 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, making it a significant landmark for both tourists and researchers interested in American postal history.
