Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of the post office in Valdez, Alaska, as viewed close-up from the front. The photograph appears to tilt downward to the left. A sidewalk of wooden planks stretches across the front of the post office. The post office stands at center and stretches vertically beyond the top frame. A door plastered with notices stands at center. It is flanked by 2 large, glass windows on each side. Etching in the window to the immediate right of the door reads, "PARKING PROHIBITED UNITED STATES POST OFFICE." Above the door and a second row of windows, "VALDEZ POST OFFICE ALASKA," is printed. A small sign to the right of it reads, "SIGNAL CORPS U.S. ARMY TELEGRAPH OFFICE [right pointing arrow]." A nearby building stands in partial view behind the post office and along the right edge. Other structures and mountains are visible in the far distance at left. Text from negative sleeve: 2199. Alaska Trip Valdez Aug.9,1946 1. Our boat 2. Tow car on dock 3. Unloading cargo 4.
