This building is a highly modified Classic Revival building. The central portion of the building's facade is stone. There is just a hint of 4 columns flanking the entry supporting a very thin tympanum and pediment. The central paired doors are metal and glass with a large decorative glass transom above. There are two tall windows on each side of the entry. The following words appear above the doorway:
"United States Post Office
Anamosa, Iowa
52205"

There is a cornerstone in the western portion of the facade. It reads:
"James A Farley
Postmaster General

John M Carmody
Federal Works Administrator

W Englbert Reynolds

Louis A Simon
Supervising Architect

Neal A Melick

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.
