Eugene, Oregon’s landmark post office is worth saving, preservationists say

News: Local | "ART DECO GEM" | The Register-Guard | Eugene, Oregon: "When Eugene resident Bruce Johannes gets out-of-town visitors, he takes them to the downtown post office. But these are not simple get-the-mail errands.
Johannes brings his guests to the post office at Fifth Avenue and Willamette Street so they can see an architecturally significant and historic structure — Eugene’s only art deco public building, adorned with intricate detail and two Depression-era murals.
“It’s kind of a landmark in the community,” Johannes said.
But with much of the structure empty, the money-losing U.S. Postal Service wants to find a buyer for the 71-year-old building. Whether anyone wants to buy the building, or what price the Postal Service might accept, is unknown."
