The US Post Office - Olean is a historic government building located in the Union and State Streets Historic District in Olean, New York. Built during 1910-12, the two-story masonry and steel frame structure serves as a functional federal building that integrates into the local landscape.
James Knox Taylor, from the Office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department, designed the building in the Renaissance Revival style. The architectural design was intended to complement the adjacent Olean Public Library.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. It remains a notable example of the work produced by the Office of the Supervising Architect in New York State.
