[1] The post office was built by the Public Works Administration of the New Deal[1] from 1939-40.

The building is two stories, brown brick walls sitting on a granite base, with a minimal cornice and a low hip roof.

The front door and window openings are large, two stories tall, and arranged symmetrically, to perhaps suggest the grand portico of a Greek temple.

Foy painted the murals for the Section of Fine Arts,[2] a New Deal project.
