From Wikipedia:

United States Post Office (Middleport, New York)

The U.S. Post Office in Middleport, New York, is located at Main (state highways 31E and 271) and Church streets. It is a brick building erected in 1940, serving the 14105 ZIP Code, which covers the village of Middleport and surrounding areas of the towns of Hartland and Royalton.

It is one of only three in the state using that design, a modernist form with Colonial Revival details. Inside is a mural commissioned by the Treasury Department. In 1989 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the only listing currently in Middleport, as part of a large group of present and former post offices in the state, including three others in Niagara County.
