Description
The U.S. Post Office and Federal Building, at 801 I Street, is the focus of this circa 1937 postcard. Although opened in November 1933, the building was without interior walls. According to "age-old custom," the Federal Government did not allow plaster walls to be tinted until two years after the completion a building's superstructure. The photograph therein was taken from atop the Labor Temple at the southwest corner of Eighth and I.
