"The Clarkston Main Post Office is a one-story, buff- colored brick building on a raised concrete basement. The front facade is symmetrical, divided into five bays, and devoid of significant detailing. A centered entry bay with two equally-sized window bays on either side break the oth- erwise plain facade. Granite steps and landing, flanked by square concrete buttresses, provide access to the entry. Above the entry doors and fronting a transom window is an ornate aluminum grille in which a low-relief sculpted eagle is centered. The facade is terminated by a plain limestone frieze with a slightly projecting molded cornice. A hipped roof, clad with tile, covers the front portion of the building while the rear is covered by a flat built-up tar composition roof. Centered on the ridge of the hipped roof is a square copper and glass cupola." (
