ster mail terminal building which is
without a parallel-anywhere
This building is Of brick and stool
Approximately 500 feet long. Is feet
wide, and six stories and basement
tall. On one side are tracks which have
capacity for 81 railway mail cars
one track running the full length of
the building inside. On the other side
IS 3O-fOOt driveway bordering on

the receipt, dispatch, and storage of
mail; another floor is devoted TO
the distribution of parcel-post mail.
another floor is used for the
handling Of paper mail, and so on
One floor is necessarily an operating or
