1933 Post Office Courthouse Greensboro North Carolina

This handsome vintage postcard showcases the L. Richardson Preyer Federal Building, originally known as the United States Post Office and Court House, in Greensboro, North Carolina. Published in 1933 and postmarked in 1941, the image captures the building’s stately presence during a period of growth and civic pride in American cities. The structure features a symmetrical, multi-story facade built of light-colored stone, with rows of tall windows and a commanding central section—all hallmarks of the Art Deco style, noted for its clean lines and geometric details.

A classic car is parked out front, anchoring the scene in its historical context and adding to the postcard’s nostalgic charm. The sky above is a soft blue, streaked with scattered white clouds, further enhancing the crisp, formal beauty of the architecture. Serving as a post office, courthouse, and federal office building, this structure has long stood as a symbol of Greensboro’s connection to the federal government and its legal history. This would look great framed or make an excellent addition to any collection.
