EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur and intrigue of the City Hall Post Office in New York City, circa 1905. Designed by Alfred B. Mullett and completed in 1880, the building served as a vital hub for the city's mail delivery system. However, its unique architectural style, characterized by its ornate details and intricate decorative elements, was not universally admired. Critics derided the building as "Mullett's Monstrosity," a label that stuck despite its historical significance. The City Hall Post Office, located at 26 Broadway, was a masterpiece of the Second Empire architectural style, with its mansard roof, cast-iron facade, and ornate interior decorations. The building's design was intended to reflect the power and grandeur of the city government, and it succeeded in making a bold statement. Despite its impressive design, the City Hall Post Office was ultimately demolished in 1939 to make way for a new post office building. The loss of this architectural gem was deeply felt by many, as it represented not only a significant piece of New York City's architectural history but also a reminder of a bygone era. This photograph, part of the Box 160 Modern New York collection in the Boswell archive, offers a rare glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and controversy of this once-iconic building. The image captures the building in its prime, with mail carriers busy at work and the bustling cityscape of New York City visible in the background. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and complex character of this great city.
