There is a 4-foot tall stone hitching post with iron ring at the front of this 1807 government building. The post is of course close to the street, a few inches from the curb, rising out of the patterned brick. Many of the historic buildings nearby have hitching posts, the more common upping stones and some marble carriage blocks. This vestige of the horse era represents one of the more economical amenities, typical of a government agency, even in the 19th ecentury.
