The Madison Square Station United States Post Office at 149 East 23rd Street between Lexington and Third Avenues in the Gramercy Park neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City was built in 1937 and was designed by Lorimer Rich in the Classical Revival style. The exterior of the building features five bronze relief sculptures by artists Edmond Amateis and Louis Slobodkin, while the interior has eight murals by Kindred McLeary. The building was added to the National Register for Historic Places in 1989. In spite of the building's name, it is not located on Madison Square but about five blocks (1/4 mile) away along 23rd Street. The building reaches through the block to East 24th Street, where there are loading docks and another public entrance.<p>This image shows the first mural on the west wall near the main entrance.</p>
