"100 E. Columbia; Post Office, ca. 1932.
A tall Beaux Arts style building with concrete foundation and brick walls
laid in a Flemish bond. This tall brick building has smooth limestone trim,
which includes two story tall Ionic columns and a wide, dentiled
entablature on the facade. The words "United States Post Office" in gold letters
run along the facade over the columns. The front section of the building, which
faces north to Columbia Street, is taller than the large rear ell. The rear ell
has a couple of in-filled window openings and a modern loading dock; they are
the only exterior changes of note. The interior lobby is also little changed,
and retains most early woodwork and early or original mail boxes. The building
occupies a quarter of the block, and sits back slightly from the sidewalk," ~ Historic District National Register Nomination Form
