Summary
In 1902 Congress appropriated $100,000 for the construction of a U.S. Post Office and Courthouse in Norfolk. Completed in 1904, the three-story stone and brick building is a fine example of the Second Renaissance Revival style, designed under plans attributed to James Knox Taylor, supervising architect of the U.S. Treasury. A 1930s addition greatly expanded the size of the building and was designed to replicate the original structure. Known today as the "McMill Building," the former post office derives its present name from the date of its construction in Roman Numerals, MCMIII.
