Simon in the Moderne style. The building is constructed in red brick; the front of the building surrounding the main entrance is faced in limestone, and the building also has limestone trim. The entrance is located atop a set of granite stairs with limestone sides; a pole lamp is located on each side of the stairs.[2] A mural by Santos Zingale titled "Fruits of Sturgeon Bay", which was funded by the Treasury Section of Fine Arts, was painted in the post office's lobby in 1940.[3]
