| Additional Information: | This 1-story Contemporary post office was constructed c.1965. It is rectangular in plan with brown brick and concrete walls and a flat roof. The front elevation faces northwest and is asymmetrical in composition. A metal-framed glass door is located at the north end of the front elevation; the door is surrounded by metal-framed sheet glass panels. South of this is a small expanse of brick wall. South of this are three singly-placed windows (these are comprised of two rectangular panels, the lower of which is larger and is oriented vertically while a smaller panel above is oriented horizontally). The remainder of the façade consists of a wide expanse of unbroken brick. A pebble-dash frieze band runs the perimeter of the building just below the roofline. A concrete ramp with metal handrails is located parallel to the front wall and provides access to the primary entrance. |
