In marked contrast to the late-nineteenth-century Italianate buildings on the square, the red brick and limestone post office one block to the east is in a richly detailed Georgian Revival mode, an East Coast assertion of sophistication inserted into a western town. A portico with four monumental Tuscan columns supports a shallow pediment, and the cornice around the entire building projects strongly. Tall, round-arched, first-floor windows are surmounted by stone keystones. The post office closed in 1996 and was purchased by the city for courtrooms and offices.
Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) workers and Public Works Administration (PWA) funds built the Public Market (1932) and the Farmers Market (1932), at 213 and 217 Fort Worth Highway, respectively. Essentially, they are long open sheds with California Mission–styled facades in white stucco with curved copings in red brick.
