This two-story, red brick and terra-cotta Renaissance Revival former post office features a central entrance loggia with Corinthian columns and groin vaults. At 510 E. Broad, the former Carnegie Library (1915; W. H. Floyd, with M. M. Alsop), with red brick walls and a deep, wooden modillioned cornice, now houses the Chamber of Commerce.
