This is a Colonial Revival post office building in brick with stone and wood trim. The composition is a traditional one: a building with a central-gable roof and a slightly recessed facade formed by a triple arcade, then a flat-roofed wing on each side. The entrance bursts forth with a full-fledged Colonial broken pediment over the entrance. Within the building is a WPA mural (1938), A Letter from Home in 1856, by Mildred W. Pelzer.
