NOTES
Additional Information:2015 - "The Beaver Dam Post Office was constructed in 1964, replacing one built in 1918 a few blocks away at 200 North Spring Street. The one-story brick building is composed of two rectangular forms with flat roofs. The front, west section is slightly shorter, which provides some added dimension to the otherwise simple, box-like massing. The glass-walled entry bay is recessed and located slightly off-center on the façade. It is highlighted by a decorative concrete canopy consisting of a repeated motif of opposing round arches. The canopy is supported by square metal posts. The exterior of the building is dominated by brick cladding, which is interspersed only by thin aluminum-frame windows spaced at regular intervals."
