NOTES
Additional Information:This small 1-story post office building was constructed in 1962 in a Contemporary style. The building is rectangular in plan with brown brick walls and a flat roof. The front elevation faces east and is asymmetrical in composition with a metal-framed glass door with narrow transom at the south end of the elevation. This is sheltered by a flat awning that is cantilevered from the façade via metal cables above. North of this are two singly-placed metal-framed windows with opaque panels above and below. The remaining wall space at the north end of the façade contains mounted metal letters reading “UNITED STATES / POST OFFICE / FRIENDSHIP, WISCONSIN.” Three windows with opaque panels above and below are located along the south elevation.
