This two-story limestone building is an excellent example of the Spanish-Neoclassical Revival style. Rectangular in
plan with a red tile hipped roof, it has round-arched window openings with consoled keystones at the top of each one. Stone pilasters divide the facade into seven bays. The second-floor windows have wrought-iron balconets. There is a hitch in the roof where the flagpole used to be. The original multi-paned windows have been replaced. There is a 1965 addition to the east.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.
A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.
If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
