Modification of U. S. Custom House and Post Office

from Cornell University Library

Susan Barsy said:
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
