Here's a link to a photo albums containing the demolition of Boston Post Office and fascinating images of men and machines.
for comparison, a modern one: Oberpostdirektion (City Nord) – Wikipedia
I wonder what an average day entailed for them? I try to envision it with every thread here. My problem is, it's like a bunch of fake cities that don't seem useable and just come out of nowhere. They just don't compare with the homely cabins and sprawling type communities, and they suck, and the bathrooms are garbage, maybe people just like a certain density and left. The city was basically too expensive, and all the resources came from their own communities so they became more like festival centers and dystopian shitholes since what's the point when you are the source and you didn't have enough people to immigrate to exploit for labor.

Hull UK former post office building,opened in 1909 still standing and a grade 2 listed building.nowhere near as grand as some of the other Post offices? in this thread,however this was actually built to be one according to the official narrative.
The original interceptors of communication/spyware via telegrams- only at your local post office.
Thank heavens for that. What a f'ugly state that was in. Reminds me of Edward Duttons 'How to judge someone by what they look like'- he used the studies to describe the 'mutant load' of an uglier face compared to a beautiful one- we recognise beauty across all disciplines because of symmetry. This absolutely goes for architecture too. Even the arch- a fundamental principle in strength or in other words health of a building- if that arch is off it will collapse. Poor mutant gene load.
And I'm not the first person here to point this out, but it bears repeating. Where was all this mail coming from, that required such an immense building to sort and process it? How much of the population was literate enough to read and write letters? How much of the literate populace could afford to buy paper and mail letters that often? Mail overseas came by boat, and as far as we know they didn't have the big tanker shipping containers we have today, so it's not like tons of mail were being unloaded by boat and taken to these postal offices. Especially in small towns. Certainly Amazon wasn't shipping packages yet, not Sears Roebeck either, so it's not like all this room was needed for packages.
Dublin Post Office. Opened in 1818.
The "cement that built America". There's a video. Somebody needs to pick up where he left off...
Hi guys, Serbia checking in
Here are the photos of the same Post Office in Belgrade, before and after the "renovation"
I hope to report you all from this part of the world, especially from Belgrade, as it is (by mainstream history) one of the most destroyed cities in the world. Only in WW2 it was heavily bombed both by British AND Soviets. What wasnt destroyed in wars, is left to the government.
Just occurred to me that maybe the term “post” office for these glorious structures was there to function as offices for all questions “post” deluge/mudflood. That could raise their importance to the level that their structure suggests. Just a thought.
What is the ONLY thing that ever gets post?
I did a little research awhile back into my hometown library, which was made from the old post office during my youth (new post office looked almost exactly as the OP pic). I remembered the 'new/old' library as being so cool- marble floors, and pretty winding staircase, old wood. Such a great place to go. It's not an exciting story so I didn't post it, until I saw this thread (I don't think anyway : ).
Couldn't finish that post, attention required elsewhere.
