The Neodesha United States Post Office, located at 123 N. Fifth St. in Neodesha, Kansas was built in 1938. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 as US Post Office-Neodesha.
It includes a mural by New York City artist Bernard J. Steffen titled Neodesha's First Inhabitants. The mural is a tempera on pressed wood board mural "that depicts the friendly relations between the Osage Indians of southeastern Kansas and the early white settlers. On the right side of the canvas Osage Chief Little Bear waves to Dr. T. Blakeslee, a physician responsible for much of the peacefulness between the two cultures."{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=89001647}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: Neodesha United States Post Office |publisher=National Park Service|author=Martha Hagedorn-Krass |date=February 28, 1989 |accessdate=December 26, 2017}} With {{NRHP url|id=89001647|photos=y|title=four photos from 1987}}.
