1901 – Post Office, Westport, Co. Mayo
Architect: J. Howard Pentland, Board of Public Works

Domestically scaled post office - the large semi-circular windows of the public office and the rock faced limestone are particularly attractive aspects of the design.

The image is a black and white photograph depicting seven individuals, likely from an earlier era based on their attire. Four men stand behind a sign that reads "New Upper Hutt Post Office," which indicates the project's title as well as details such as its design by various government officials including F.G.F Sheppard (Ministry of Works Architect) and E.K. Dinsdale, District Architect; construction supervision under G.R. Askin for Ministry of Works; a commission from Hart, Osborne & Company Ltd.; and mentions of Hart, Osborne Construction Services Ltd.

On the right side is an older man in a dark coat with his arm around another standing behind him who appears to be smiling at something out of frame or camera. There are two individuals sitting on what looks like steps beneath them; one seems content while the other's expression isn't visible due to their head turned away from us.

Three people stand in front: an older woman wearing glasses, a cable-knit sweater and skirt, alongside a young girl with a bow in her hair who is dressed traditionally for the period. Their poses suggest they are part of this moment being commemorated by the photograph.

The overall setting seems informal yet significant due to its context within post office construction history as documented here.

A black and white photograph depicting a group of people standing behind a signboard on what appears to be the upper deck or cabin area of a boat. The signboard reads "NEW UPPER HUTT POST OFFICE," indicating that this image is related to an architectural project for a post office in Upper Hut, possibly New Zealand given the context provided by Loener's work series titled 'Notes on the country I live in.' Amongst those pictured are men and women, with one woman wearing glasses and another child visible. The design credits suggest involvement from various government bodies such as the Ministry of Works and a commissioner overseeing works for Frank Sinatra Construction Co., among others.

In this black and white photograph, a group of people are sitting on the porch of a small house. The sign above the porch reads "Jerusalem Post Office, Hiruharama (Jerusalem), Whanganui".

There are six individuals in the photo: one man is seated to the left side of the frame, dressed casually and wearing a cowboy hat. To his right sits another man, also casually dressed. On the far right, there's a woman wearing a dress, while on the left side of the frame, an older person with white hair is seated, dressed in a traditional outfit that could be from a past era.

In front of this group, on the porch floor, there are objects such as a handbag and a suitcase, suggesting travel or personal belongings. The house itself has weathered walls, indicating age or frequent exposure to the elements. The overall atmosphere is one of casual gathering or perhaps waiting for the mail or delivery.

Please note that this description is based on the visible content of the image and does not include any speculative or imaginary details.

#Rural #PostOffices Are Disappearing. We Found Out Why.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFYybL1OY2Q

#Postmaster DeJoy wants to make the #USPS more efficient. So his solution is to take #mail from this rural #Wyoming town, send it to be sorted in #Denver, and then ship it back to Wyoming again. It's not just absurd. It's also disastrous for #postalworkers and rural #residents. And it's going to make all of our mail slower, too.

_The Evening Post_, 14 Feb 1924:
EASTBOURNE POST OFFICE
At a special meeting of the Eastbourne Borough Council, held last evening, a resolution was passed that the council impress upon the Postmaster-General the extreme necessity and urgency of erecting a new Post Office at #Eastbourne. It was agreed to write to the Minister at once, and also to the member for the district, Mr. T. M. Wilford, requesting them to have the matter expedited.
