Wheat Ridge Post Office
Jefferson County
Originally located on W. 38th Ave, the one-story, flat roofed brick building housed Wheat Ridge’s first post office from 1913 until the early 1920s. In 1944, the building served as the first home of the Wheat Ridge branch of the Jefferson County Public Library, and a variety of businesses have operated in the building.

When threatened with demolition in 1989, the Wheat Ridge Historical Society spearheaded an effort culminating in the building’s relocation to Wheat Ridge Historic Park in 1992, where it now functions as a museum.
