Typical of the Colonial Revival designs for post offices in the 1930s is this Flemish bond brick building. The slate roof is topped by an octagonal cupola and a Chinese Chippendale balustrade, and the facade is embellished by a modillion cornice and windows with granite keystones. The interior retains its marble wainscot and wooden fittings and a WPA mural of a pastoral scene.
