I have lived in Philadelphia for 4 1/2 years, I spent a semester here during college, as well as countless weeks during the summer while I was growing up. And yet today, I walked into the Main Post Office at 30th and Market for the very first time. I was mailing a fairly important envelope, and wanted to see it personally off to it’s destination, as opposed to dropping it off in a box, so as I walked home, I popped into the Post Office. I was completely floored as to how lovely it is inside. There is marble everywhere and if you look up, carved wood lines the ceiling. I’m only hoping now that some of that detailing will be saved when it is renovated to be mixed use commerical space when Penn takes over the property next year.
