Regarding United States Post Office. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
The San Bernardino Downtown Station is a stylistically ambiguous blending of Mediterranean and Renaissance Revival ornamental motifs, applied to a classical box. The second story federal offices have access to a large veranda, which is currently unused. This building is actually on the margin between the small-scale combined federal building/post office, and the large buildings constructed in Los Angeles and San Francisco; and the structure is less monumental than the urban post office/courthouse building type in both size and scale. The building is one of a very few which have survived from the first half of this century in San Bernardino, and it therefore contributes to the continuity of the urban fabric more than it would in a town with a more active preservation movement. Its local significance is increased due to the paucity of surviving buildings from the 1930s and earlier in SanBernardino.Photographed by Duane and Tracy Marsteller, September 29, 20252.
