History

The Arlington Post Office was built in 1939 with federal Treasury Department funds to consolidate the city's postal services, serving as Arlington's main post office until 1964. Its lobby is notable for the New Deal-era mural "Gathering Pecans" by Texas artist Otis Dozier. After the postal service moved out, the Arlington Independent School District used the building, and in 2001 Worthington National Bank purchased and restored it. The structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
