The post office was built in 1933 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 as "U.S. Post Office-Central Square". In 1992, the United States Congress passed a bill renaming it for Clifton Merriman,[2] an African-American World War I veteran who later became assistant superintendent of the main Post Office in Cambridge.[3]
