This building was Oceanside's first permanent post office. Dedicated in January of 1936, it was a WPS project, one of several in Oceanside. Louis Simon aided in the design. A mural of the San Luis Rey valley, painted by Elise Seeds (aso a WPA project) graces the interior. One other WPA project is the wooden Coat of Arms over the doorway, completed by Stuart Holmes in 1936. - from Oceanside Historical Society
