Let R be the incidence algebra of a finite partially ordered set T over a commutative noetherian ring A. Then the spectrum of R is homeomorphic to the product (Spec A) x T, where Spec A has the usual Zariski topology and T has the order topology. An explicit construction is given for the structure sheaf of R over its spectrum.
