The building was designed by architect Horace Trumbauer and built in 1926. The Post Building is a 17-story, Art Deco style steel frame and masonry building with abundant terra cotta and Guastavino tile embellishments. The building has setbacks beginning at the seventh floor and a "U" shaped light well. The New York Evening Post previously occupied the Old New York Evening Post Building from 1906 to 1926.
