It is a three-story rectangular light brown brick building. The building, whose design is credited to Oscar Wenderoth, cost $85,000 to build. Besides the post office, it housed a federal courthouse, an Army Recruiting Station, and a county health board. The post office and federal court offices have since relocated away.[2]
The building is now used for apartments.[citation needed]
