The Federal Post Office
1870 – 1939
On this site stood the western wall of the Federal Post Office. Designed by Alfred B. Mullet – architect of the Old Executive Office Building in Washington, D.C. – the ornate building’s broad north façade faced City Hall, while its sides were angled to form a triangle that followed the contours of Park Row and Broadway. When the Post Office was demolished in 1939, the view of City Hall from lower Broadway was restored
Marker is at the intersection of Park Row and Broadway, on the right when traveling west on Park Row.
