The Old Post Office building now houses Mena City Hall. It was placed on the National Register in 1991, but in 2009 when the Historic District was established, this listing became part of the District as a whole.
This is a 1-1/2 story blond brick building which is symmetrical, and constructed in 1917. The facade, facing Mena Street has three bays. The center bay has a gabled pediment and six steps leading to double wood and glazed doors, flanked by two small 4-over-4 windows. The pediment is supported by four columns. The outer bays each have two 9-over-9 windows with keystones. On the north and south elevations, a center bay has a large window with a fanlight.
Above the windows is a wide cornice and above that, a raised parapet on all sides, with balustrade sections. At the center of the roof is a gabled section which contains a partial second level, with small windows at the rear.
