This building is typical of what was constructed with Treasury funding under the New Deal. It was built in 1938. The brick is light tan, and a wide frieze at the roof line reads "United States Post Office / Okemah, Oklahoma". The centered entrance has a single door and divided sidelight. Above the entrance is a metal grill work with an eagle. A handicap ramp has been added on the left and the building cornerstone can be seen behind its railing.
The cornerstone reads:
Henry Morgenthau Jr.
Secretary of the Treasury
James A. Farley
Postmaster General
Louis A. Simon
Supervising Architect
Neal A. Melick
Supervising Engineer
1938
