The Robert B. Weiss Center at 479 Main Street in Manchester is home to the town’s Human Services Department. The large Colonial and Classical Revival building was built in 1931-1932 as the Manchester Main U.S. Post Office. It was designed under James A. Wetmore, Acting Supervising Architect for the U.S. Treasury Department, and was well planned for a difficult corner site with a substantial slope. The structure was built by the Pieretti Brothers of Centerbrook. The U.S. Postal Service moved from the building in 1991 and the town bought it for use as offices. It was given its current name in 1994 in honor of Robert B. Weiss, who served 23 years as town manager.
Robert B. Weiss Center (1931)
A few years ago I purchased a map of the British Isles. Written inside the cover is, Pvt Robert B. Weiss, ASN/5303574, U.S. Army. I would like to return it to him, or anyone from his family. If you know this man or any of his relatives please tell me how to contact them.
Thank you,
Bruce Pottorff USAFR Ret.
