The architect of record for this Post Office was James Taylor Knox, who apparently worked for the U.S. Treasury as their surveying architect. Another Post Office with his name on it, in Champaign, Illinois, bears a striking resemblance, although the Woburn Post Office is decidedly less ornate.

The Post Office is located on Abbott Street, just north of the Woburn Common and city center.
