The United States Post Office, located at 825 1st Avenue E., is the main post office serving Horton, Kansas. The Neoclassical building was built circa 1937-38 and designed by Supervising Architect Louis Simon. The inside of the post office includes two murals, both painted by Kenneth Evett for the Treasury Department's post office mural program; the additional mural is unusual for a small post office. The first mural, titled Picnic in Kansas, was completed in 1938 and depicts a large family at a picnic. The second mural, titled Changing of Horses for the Pony Express, was completed the following year and shows a Pony Express rider leaving a station.^[2]

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 17, 1989.^[1]
