This building is in good condition and is currently the Post Office for Pleasant Hill.
Date of Construction: 1938
This brick one-part commercial block features Colonial Revival styling. The building has a T-shaped footprint. The symmetrical front elevation is five bays wide and the side (north) elevation is six bays deep. Fenestration defines the bays and includes non-historic double-hung windows with fifteen-over-fifteen light faux muntins that match the original glazing pattern. The entrance occupies the center bay of the front elevation. A formal entrance surround enframes the double-leaf glass doors and the original wood frame transom window, which consists of a string of five arched lights. The entrance surround features pilasters, an entablature, and a flat cornice with dentils.
Additional character-defining features include a stone belt course and parapet coping, flared brick window lintels with stone keystones, and a soldier brick water table.
This building retains a high degree of architectural integrity and clearly conveys its historic associations. It is a contributing element to the historic district.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.
A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.
If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
