Regarding U.S. Post Office. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
The building is a fine example of the simplified Classical Revival design popular for government buildings during the 1930*s. It has retained its architectural integrity on the exterior.
The building is significant as a representation of the federal government's efforts to alleviate unemployment during the Depression. An expanded public building program by the federal government during this era helped to stimulate the economy.
