Description
The 1939 Colonial Revival-style post office was rehabilitated in 1999 and now privately owned; as of 2014 it was home to a communications company, though no longer. The company received a Heritage Award for Excellence in the rehabilitation of the historic building.
It formerly contained bas relief sculptures by George Aarons. The sculptures were moved to the new post office at its completion.

The old post office building is still there though the communications company is no longer using it. I’m not sure of its future status.
