DescriptionA brick post office occupies a street corner. An eagle and inscription, both apparently carved in stone, are over the main entrance. The inscription reads: "United States Post Office". An American flag flies from the roof. Automobiles are parked beside the paved sidewalks. Painted crosswalks are at the corner. Traces of old paving stones are visible between the crosswalk at the left. Trees and frame houses are in the background.
