EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1910 and 1920, showcases the grandeur of the Post Office building in New York City. The image, created by an unknown photographer, captures the beauty and elegance of this architectural masterpiece during the early 20th century. The building, designed by the renowned architectural firm McKim, Mead & White, served as a symbol of communication and connection during a time when letters and packages were the primary means of long-distance communication. The photograph, which measures 8 x 10 inches and was captured on a dry plate negative, highlights the building's impressive facade. The Corinthian columns, with their intricate designs and ornate capitals, frame the entrance, creating a sense of grandeur and importance. The empty streets and lack of modern distractions allow the viewer to focus on the architectural details of the building, including the intricate pillars, colonnades, and the building's overall symmetry. The James A. Farley Post Office Building, as it was officially known, was a significant landmark in New York City and the United States. It served as the city's main post office until 1986, when it was replaced by the current facility. The building, which is now home to the Port Authority Bus Terminal, remains an important part of the city's architectural heritage. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, is a testament to the power of photography to capture and preserve the past. It invites us to reflect on the evolution of communication and the role that buildings like the Post Office have played in shaping our cities and our lives.
