In early 2012, the post office building was renamed "First Lieutenant Oliver Goodall Post Office Building," in honor of an Altadena resident and Tuskegee Airman. Goodall lived in Altadena from 1961 until his death in November 2010. View of Colorado Street and Garfield Avenue in Pasadena, facing west. The original Italian Renaissance Post Office is visible in the forefront on the right; formerly the only Post Office in Pasadena, it is now a branch. The main building was designed by Oscar Wenderoth and was built in 1913. An addition (not visible in this photo) was designed by Marston and Maybury, and was built in 1938. Citizens Savings Bank can be seen farther back on the right, and across the street from it the Pacific Southwest Bldg is on the left. Several automobiles and pedestrians, as well as a dog, can be seen crossing the street.
