Description

The historic post office building in Pacific Grove, California was constructed in 1938 with federal Treasury Department funds. The building, which houses a New Deal mural in its lobby, is still in use today.

The design is “Monterey style” with tile roof(s) and stucco walls, but the bas-relief columns on the front give a classical touch.
