Description
The historic post office in downtown Great Neck, New York “was built in 1939-40 and designed by consulting architect William Dewey Foster (1890-1958) for the Office of the Supervising Architect. It is a one story, pentagonal shaped skeletal frame building clad with plucked textured buff limestone in the Classical Revival style. It features a semicircular entrance portico supported by four square columns.” (Wikipedia)
