EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts Post Office Square in Boston, Massachusetts, between 1900 and 1920. The image, captured during the early 20th century, showcases the grandeur of the Second Empire-style Post Office building, designed by Alfred B. Mullett. The sunlit facade of the building, adorned with intricate details and ornate architectural elements, stands proudly against a clear blue sky. The square, surrounded by trees and lush greenery, adds to the picturesque scene. The Post Office Square, a significant landmark in Boston's history, was a hub for communication and commerce during this era. The building housed the United States Postal Service and was a symbol of the country's progress and development. The Second Empire architectural style, popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is evident in the building's mansard roof, ornate detailing, and the use of glass and iron. The photograph, a dry plate or glass negative, was likely taken by an unknown photographer, possibly Edward H. Husher or Potter William Appleton, both of whom were active in the Boston area during this time. The image is now part of the historic collection at the Library of Congress, a testament to the rich architectural and historical heritage of America.
