The Post Office steps are made of porphyritic granite from Minnesota, containing large 1-inch phenocrysts of orthoclase feldspar. The original plans called for using local Prescott Granodiorite, as at the nearby Courthouse. The post office lobby is clad in fine veined Indiana marble. The side room in the northwest corner of the lobby has noteworthy wavy-texture marble.[2]
