Note a large number of North Dakota post offices built during 1900-1940 were reviewed in a 1989 study, resulting in immediate NRHP listing of 12 to add to the eight previously listing. Others may have been listed since then in accordance with standards laid out in that study. This 1969 building may be the most recently built post office so far listed in  North Dakota. It is termed mid-century modern in RoadsideArchitecture.com. It was built by T.F. Powers Construction Co., which opened in 1893 after downtown Fargo was largely destroyed by fire. Flooding in Fargo led to this location handling more mail in 2009, when the post office annex at 4007 33rd St., NW, was flooded.
