On my walk, I dropped off mail at the downtown post office. Here I am looking at one end of the art deco lobby, built in 1933. Behind me stretches a 365-foot bronze light fixture, a full city block long. Recently, Channel 5 local news reported, without attribution, that Joseph Stalin, upon hearing about this, ordered a longer fixture for a Moscow train station.
Such a beautiful space!
Sure is. On cold days I sometimes include this lobby on my walk. One day the building will have to be repurposed: I hope the new purpose retains this lovely lobby.
