United States Post Office-Main Branch
United States Post Office-Main Branch, Federal post office building in University City, Philadelphia, United States.
The limestone-clad six-story building stretches 386 feet wide and 455 feet long across from the Amtrak 30th Street Station in Philadelphia.
Built between 1931 and 1935, this Art Deco structure operated as Philadelphia's main postal processing facility until its closure in 2008.
The building represents the federal government's commitment to public architecture through its grand scale and sophisticated design elements of the 1930s.
The complex now houses office spaces, including the Internal Revenue Service headquarters, and connects to Cira Green rooftop park and FMC Tower.
In 1939, this post office initiated the world's first scheduled rotorcraft airmail service, operating five daily flights to Camden Central Airport.
