2-story Neo-Classical post office completed in 1922. Designed by John T. Dunn, the long, low building is clad in white terra-cotta. It is eight bays wide, each separated by fluted piers supporting an entablature above the six middle bays. The two end bays are simpler, both with three narrow openings on the 2nd floor; the eastern end bay has three similar openings on the ground floor (one a metal service door), and the western end bay has a garage door. Both of the end bays rise higher than the cornice in the middle, topped by stone coping. There are also extensions of the piers in the middle bays that rise above the cornice, to the level of the top of the end bays. At the ground floor, the two westernmost of the middle bays have garage doors, while the others grey glass and metal infill. The 2nd floor has bands of four windows with transoms in brown metal frames in the middle bays.
