Old Post Office, Federal heritage building in Lower Manhattan, United States.
The Old Post Office spans two city blocks with its Corinthian colonnade facade stretching along Eighth Avenue between 31st and 33rd Streets.
The construction of this Second Empire style structure began in 1869 and continued until 1880, under the direction of architect Alfred B. Mullett.
The building's interior features marble floors and walls decorated with national emblems from ten different countries of the Postal Union.
The structure has transformed from a postal facility into a transportation hub, now housing the Moynihan Train Hall for Amtrak and LIRR services.
Twenty massive columns, each measuring 53 feet in height, support the entablature that displays the United States Postal Service creed.
