"The two-story Globe Post Office is firmly rooted in the Beaux-Arts architectural tradition. The main entrance is flanked by two pilasters and a wide cornice topped with a cast eagle. The public lobby has a tile floor and the walls have a gray marble wainscotting. The post office is located one block east of the principal business street in the community and is one block southeast of the Gila County Courthouse.
The building appears to be in excellent structural condition and is being well maintained. The original bronze and glass doors at the main entrance have been re- placed with aluminum frame glass doors. The building has two stories and a full basement and is topped with a flat composition roof. It is constructed of red English bonded brick with poured concrete foundations."
