SAHARA Highlights: Post Offices
Feb 15, 2024
by
Said Al Mahrouqi, Guest SAHARA Editor
In the Anglophone world, the term “post office” dates to the Elizabethan period. Its use started in the 1650s after the legalization of private mail services. Post office buildings have evolved from simple, functional designs to major architectural landmarks that reflect the values of their era. Initially, they symbolized the postal service's trustworthiness and importance. However, by the mid-20th century, the focus shifted to Modernism, which valued simplicity, efficiency, and innovative building materials. Contemporary post offices aim to be environmentally friendly and serve as community hubs, combining sustainable design elements with facilities that promote public interaction. In many locations, they are a community’s principal connection to the national government. They also play important roles in a variety of situations, from paying taxes to Valentine’s Day.

Magney & Tusler, United States Post Office, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 1933. Photographed by Philip Larson. The main building faced Pioneer Square park, which is now occupied by an apartment tower.
Duany Plater-Zyberk, Post Office, Seaside, Florida, 1981. Photographed by Richard Guy Wilson. The post office serves as a popular tourist attraction in Seaside. In 2018 it was relocated to a different part of the central square.
William Adams Delano, Ariel Rios Federal Building (New Post Office), Washington, DC, 1934. The building, characterized by its Classical Revival style and unique semicircular footprint, combines traditional limestone and granite exteriors with a richly appointed interior, featuring art, murals, and modern amenities like central air conditioning, all of these preserved during a 1993 restoration.
Unknown, Oman Post Office, Azaiba, Muscat, Oman, 1970s. Photographed by Marwan Al Mahrouqi on January 16, 2024. Oman's postal service evolved through stages of foreign oversight, starting with Indian supervision until 1864, transitioning to Pakistani control after India's independence, and then under British administration across the Arab Gulf from 1948 to 1966. Achieving postal independence on April 30, 1966, Oman began self-management of its postal services and issued its first "Muscat and Oman" stamps, reflecting the nation's heritage and symbols.
Robert Vorhoelzer, Goetheplatz post office, Munich, Germany. 1932. Photographed by J. Fraser Muirhead. The five-story post office combines Neue Sachlichkeit and Classical Modernism styles, and features a curved facade with large windows and a reinforced concrete structure.
Unknown, Steeple Bumpstead Post Office, Essex, UK, early-17th century, with 18th century alterations. Photographed by Dell Upton in June 1982.
Cornelis Hendrik Peters and Hans Ruijssenaars, Hoofdpostkantoor, Amsterdam, Netherlands, 1899. Photographed by Dell Upton on March 23, 2019. The building combines both Gothic and Renaissance elements and is currently a shopping mall known as Magna Plaza.

At the center of SAH Celebrates is the Charnley-Persky House (1891–1892), a National Historic Landmark and a Chicago Landmark designed by Louis Sullivan with assistance from Frank Lloyd Wright, that serves as SAH headquarters. SAH Celebrates highlights the importance of fostering a supportive community whose efforts ensure the stewardship of architectural gems like the Charnley-Persky House.
Proceeds benefit the ongoing maintenance and care of the Charnley-Persky House and SAH's educational programs and publications, including SAH Archipedia and Buildings of the United States.

Call for Bibliographic References to Expand "Women in Architecture Bibliography"
The SAH Women in ArchitectureAffiliate Group and SAH WiA AG Registers Committee invite submissions of bibliographic references, new or absent in the initial edition of the SAH Women in Architecture Bibliography. Contributors will be recognized in Acknowledgements. We invite references to expand: – The list of BOOKS authored/edited BY WOMEN, who are architectural and art historians, educators, curators, critics, other protagonists in our profession. – The list of BOOKS ABOUT WOMEN’s CONTRIBUTION to the built environment integrating works in broader diversity, border- and cross-disciplinary studies, covering various geographies, and areas relevant to understanding and teaching the subject. – The list of THESES ABOUT WOMEN’s CONTRIBUTION to the discipline. – The list of BOOKS/THESES, following the same logistics, published in languages other than English. NO DEADLINE! Subject Line: WiA Bibliography 2023; Format: Word doc. / Chicago Manual of Style 17th edition The SAH Women in Architecture Bibliography is a comprehensive project in-progress of the SAH Women in Architecture Affiliate Group, a groundbreaking effort to document and recognize the essential role women have played in the creation of the built environment, from practicing architects, urban, landscape, and interior designers, to artists and craftsmen, to the many scholars who have informed, advocated, and educated through their publications, exhibitions, and numerous public and private programs around women in architecture. While there have been bibliographies and collections developed on the topic, no effort has been made to organize a major inclusive database of books and theses about the contribution of women to the built environment. These efforts of the SAH Women in Architecture Affiliate Group have just launched, and the initial open e-access edition containing c. 1,100 titles has been published online in July and in August 2021. The Society of Architectural Historians and the SAH WiA AG are committed to creating the bibliography that will lead current and future generations of professionals to the core literature of inclusive, powerful writings by and about women in the integral field of architecture.
