USPS | Do you have Post Office photos from the past? The USPS historical preservation architect would like to hear from you

"...When Noel Roman recently visited the Postal Service’s Pilsen Station in Chicago, he was handed a folder filled with photos from the building’s construction in 1936.

Grateful for the trove, the USPS historical preservation architect scanned and saved them as part of the facility’s historical documentation.

It got him to thinking: There are no doubt other architectural photos of historical interest out there, and with them, he could create a digital historical catalog of USPS buildings. ...He encourages anyone in possession of historical Post Office photos to email him — the more detailed information that can be provided about the photos and their subjects, the better."
