Anoka Post Office
300 E. Main St., Anoka, MNThe Anoka Post Office, the oldest extant public building in Anoka, is the city's most architecturally significant non-residential building.
The post office was designed and constructed in 1916 under the supervision of the Minnesota-born U.S. Government architect, James Knox Taylor. The building, which could serve as a textbook model of the Georgian Revival style, contains such Georgian Revival features as its rectangular plan, brick veneer, symmetrical facades, hipped roof, dentillated cornice, central pedimented doorway, and arched lintels with keystones.
The post office is currently privately owned. Its owners, Counselor Realty, are rehabilitating the building for office and commercial use.
