this place until the present time, but the
term Of occupancy of this building is
nearly finished 1t will not be many
DAYS until the new building will be ready
for occupancy, and the postoffice will
then settle down in it's new home, which
it will be likely to occupy for perhaps
centuries.
This new building had its beginning IN
an act of congress passed Feb. 16, 1881,
appropriating $SO0,000 for a government
building at st. Paul. Work on the build
ing was begun as soon as possible, and
has been pushed on until now it is near
completion. Edward P. Bassford, of st.
Paul. is the supervising architect, and
BuNer-Ryan company has the building
contract The total cost of the building
is 81 ,050, 900.
The building occupies the block bound
ed by Fifth, Sixth, Market and Wash
ington streets, and is 800 feet long by 1856
feet wide. 1t is five stories high, with a
tower and is built of sandstone. 1t is
constructed after the most modern plans
ard is a beautiful building. The interior
is finished with oak.
The postoffice will share this building
with other United States offices, includ-
ing the courts and revenue departments.
The furnishings for the postoffice depart
ment are being put in at the present time.
They are made of quarter-sawed oak,
finished in the best style. AS soon as the
furniture is all installed the postoffice
will be removed to this building, which is
to be it's permanent home, occupying as it
will the same location which it occupied
when the Office was. in the old Baldwin
school nearly thirty-four years ago.

domicile of the Office for five years, when
it was moved to the opera house at wa
hasha and Fourth streets. On Feb. 8,
1873, it was moved into the present puild-
ing at Fifth and Wabasha.
Since the establishment of the office,
over fifty-five years ago, only thirteen
men have held the position of post:nas-
ter The first man SO honored was Henry
Jackson, who held the office from April
l, 1886 to July 5, 1S49, when he was super
seeded by Jacob W. Bass, who served I'M

teen boxes which were labeled with in
itial letters, and in these the mall was
distributed. This cabinet is still pre-
served at the Historical society's library,
and picture of it is reproduced with
this article. This office, while rude and
primitive in every DETAIL was good
enough for an Office whose total re-
ceipts for the year were but $14.70
But as the settlement grew the needs
became greater and Postmaster Jackson
began to enlarge his office. He put in

part of the Northwest. The other three
were at Point Douglass, st. Croix Falls
and Saltwater. The one at Saltwater was
established but four months before the
st. Paul Office was started.

mission he began at once to fit up his
office. He made a cabinet of boxes out

eight months. He resigned July /, 1900,
to accept the office of mayor of the city
of ST. Paul. He was followed by A. R..
McGill, who occupies the office at the
present time.
The location of the postoffice has been
changed many times as noted above, re-

only a few years and was then moved
