  Looks like we went all out for Christmas even in 1910.

  Postal Inspection Service viewing ports are marked in the photo. In those days, post offices included specifications for hidden back hallways with rubber padding on the floor. There was usually an exterior door. Inspectors would enter through the hidden door and surveil postal employees when needed or desired. The padding made it impossible to hear the inspectors walking around.
