United States Post Office - Fort Worth, Texas - American Guide Series on Waymarking.com

6. The UNITED STATES POST OFFICE, SE. corner Jennings and W. Lancaster Aves., designed in the classic Greek manner by Wyatt C. Hedrick, architect, was completed in 1933 at a cost of $1,050,000. The light gray outside walls are of Cordova limestone, with 1 6 four-foot Corinthian columns capped by Grecian spans of Bedford limestone between the entrances. Steps and foundation trim are of Texas granite, and a seven-foot wall encloses a light-well in front of the building. Emblems of the United States are on bronze medallions at each end of the structure. At each north entrance foyer are four 2O-foot columns of green Grecian marble. Floors also are of marble. The corridor is 260 feet by 22 feet, lined on both sides by offices and service windows. The walls are tan, marble-lined to a height of eightfeet, and above that is a bronze grille with an American eagle perched between the United States Shield and the Texas Star. The frieze on both sides carries the same motif and the ornamental plaster ceiling is richly decorated with gold leaf and bright colors. The RAILWAY TERMINAL POST OFFICE (visited by arrangement), on the second floor, houses the headquarters offices of the Eleventh Division of Railway Mail Service, which serves Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico, and some sections of Colorado and Arizona.

The outside of the building has not changed. The streets are wider with a lot more traffic. Inside there is very little change also. The halls are darker that you would find in a building built today.
