The Delavan Post Office is located in Delavan, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1]

It is located on Delavan's Vitrified Brick Street.

It is a two-story building which has six brick pilasters with Tuscan capitals dividing its front facade into five bays, overlooking wide granite steps. It has a carved, stone architrave wrapping around the building, beneath a brick frieze and denticulated cornice.[2]

Its interior includes a mural painted in 1984 by Rosemary Roth showing scenes from Delavan's history.[2]
