NPS Form 10-900a (Rev. 8/86) OMB No. 1024-0018 National Register of Historic Places United States Department of the Interior Continuation Sheet National Park Service United States Post Office Coalgate Section number 7 Page J. Coal County, Oklahoma DESCRIPTION Since its completion in 1940, the United States Post Office in Coalgate, Oklahoma has occupied the lot on the southeast corner of Main Street and Ohio Avenue. The building stands alone on its lot and because of a deeper setback it also stands apart from the other commercial buildings. Between the sidewalk and the building there is a narrow band of grass that fringes the front and sides of the post office. Shrubs have been planted adjacent to the northwest and southwest corners of the building. There is a flagpole in the grass on the northeast corner of the lot. There is a parking lot and loading zone at the back of the building. The post office is a one-story structure with a basement. The walls are clad with buff bricks but the intermixture of darker, more orange-colored bricks gives the appearance of a polychromatic surface.
