It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 as U.S. Post Office-Valley City.[1] Its Classical Revival design is credited to the Office of the Supervising Architect under James A. Wetmore, and designed "in the spirit" of James Knox Taylor. It was built when post office designs were just beginning to be standardized, but shows individuality and does not follow any of the standardized plans that were adopted in 1915 at the national level. In fact, according to its NRHP nomination, it "was one of the last designs of its kind, and harks back to an earlier era when federal buildings were monolithic, imposing, costly, and built according to Beaux Arts principles of massing." It was described in a local newspaper account in 1916 as "'much more pretentious than most of the federal buildings that are being erected throughout the west when the size of the cities are taken into consideration'".[2] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} {{National Register of Historic Places}}{{NorthDakota-NRHP-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=89001758}} |title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: Valley City Post Office |author=Norene Roberts |date=July 1989 |publisher=National Park Service}} and {{NRHP url|id=89001758|title=accompanying two photos|photos=y}} 5 : Buildings and structures in Barnes County, North Dakota|Neoclassical architecture in North Dakota|Government buildings completed in 1916|Post office buildings on the National Register of Historic Places in North Dakota|National Register of Historic Places in Barnes County, North Dakota |
