The card shows the "New Post Office, Waterbury, Conn.," a substantial Classical Revival building with a columned central entrance, balustraded roofline, and flagpole, with several figures on the sidewalk and street in front. Waterbury was a leading brass-manufacturing city in Connecticut, and its early-20th-century federal building projected the city's commercial importance. The stone facade and monumental columns are characteristic of federal post office architecture of the period.
