History and architectural features

Designed by Office of the Supervising Architect James Knox Taylor in 1910 and built between 1911 and 1913, this historic structure is a sandstone building that was created in the Renaissance Revival style. It consists of a five-bay by two-bay front section with a low hipped roof, and a four bay rear extension. The front facade features a trio of arches flanked by rectangular windows at either end. The post office closed in 1969, after which the building was occupied by a clothing store("Trone & Weikert") until being renovated for offices in 1991.{{cite web| url = https://www.dot7.state.pa.us/ce/SelectWelcome.asp| title = National Historic Landmarks & National Register of Historic Places in Pennsylvania| publisher = CRGIS: Cultural Resources Geographic Information System| format = Searchable database}} Note: This includes {{cite web| url = {{NRHP-PA|H094449_1.pdf}} | title = National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form: US Post Office-Hanover | accessdate = 2011-12-20| author = Brian Van Sweden and Thomas N.
