Prior to that it was located on the Winnipesaukee Pier, and before that, further down Lakeside Avenue.

Laconia Post Office History

Official postal name change to “Laconia” (from “Belknap County”) – July 26, 1855

The Laconia Post Office was built between 1917-1919.

Added to the National Register of Historical Places in 1986. See below for an architectural description.

Laconia’s zip code of 03246 originally included Gilford. On July 1, 2000, Gilford received its own zip code, 03249.

The building, symmetrically designed to reflect its corner location, has an imposing colonaded entrance front featuring six columns in front of six engaged pilasters, all of the Corinthian Order. Broad granite steps lead to the entrance and are flanked by two ornate lamp standards of wrought iron with globular lamps. The five bays of the colonade contain the doorway centered between two bays of casement windows with transoms; the frieze is capped with a bold projecting denticulated cornice which is carried around the building. Each side facade features three windows articulated by brick pilasters with stone capitals and plain stone panels above the windows. These panels repeat those used above the windows in the colonade which are elaborately carved in relief.

The significance of this building is limited to its architectural design as an expression of post office building activity prior to World War I. The policy of constructing buildings of uniformity and reflective of the business economy of the region is evident in this property. The architecture is based on the elements of Beaux-Arts massing featuring an entrance of imposing scale with attention to detail executed in stone, and with symmetry demonstrated in the plan and architectural treaty of the facades. Even though this design standard was carried out in far less ambitious terms than previous structures constructed under the administrations of James Taylor and Oscar Wenderoth, the resulting properties incorporated fundamental design principals which expressed classical and democratic ideals symbolizing power and organization.
