I believe this building stood on the block bounded by Clark, Adams, Dearborn, and Jackson and was the first of three large US post offices to stand on this location. This building opened in 1879 and was razed in 1896 to make way for the Chicago Federal Building designed by Henry Ives Cobb, which was in turn destroyed in the 1960s to make way for the Mies van der Rohe federal complex on the site today. The HABS history of the Chicago PO can be found here: lcweb2.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage For information on the Cobb building, see susanbarsy.com/2012/09/28/photo-friday/ and this entry on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Federal_Building

After downloading the high resolution TIFF image from the Library of Congress I was able to zoom in on all the interesting things hanging on the wall. One poster shows Captain Arthur W. Wermuth the "One Man Army" in the Philippines. This web site has a good account of his actions. www.homeofheroes.com/footnotes/2007/01January2-wermuth.html
