Summary
Fremont was one of the earliest and smallest communities in Nebraska to receive a federally constructed post office. Politics traditionally played a prominent role in the location and construction of post offices and the Old Fremont Post Office is no exception. As such, this building represents a significant example of a building constructed during a period in history when political influence helped dictate community developments. The original sandstone building was constructed in 1893-95 in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. Two historic additions were added in 1910-11 and 1936-37.
