From the onset of The Great Depression in 1929, a new era of government buildings was initiated with the development of public works programs designed to stimulate local economies.  The Chehalis Post Office is a legacy of these programs and was the first federally constructed building in the community built by the Public Works Administration.  The Post Office was opened in January 1934 and is listed in The National Register of Historic Places.
