NYFE Summary
The federal government built this as the borough’s postal headquarters after buying the site decades earlier. At the cornerstone ceremony, Postmaster General James Farley defended New Deal spending against its critics.
Tall marble arches frame windows in smooth gray brick walls above a granite terrace. Two facade sculptures tell stories about messages: a mother and child receiving a letter, and Noah receiving a dove after the flood.
