Built in 1936 as a result of FDR's New Deal, this Post Office served the city of Gary, Indiana until the 1970s, existing now as one of many abandoned buildings in the city. It was designed by Howard Lovewell Cheney.

My father worked for the United States Postal Service for 38 years and passed away on May 23rd, 2023. He had started working for the USPS in September 1969, starting out in this building for his first few years. He had plenty of stories from that early time. The building today is in serious neglect and, like many others in the city, is in danger of either further decay and collapsing or being demolished. I wanted to preserve it for us to enjoy in our digital cities.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

*Found under Garbage and Industry / Post Service
*Post Office template.
*5x8 lot.
*Costs $10,000 to build.
*Upkeep is up to $112 per week.

---------

*LOD: 296 / 128x128

NOTES:

*This asset uses a special shader allowing for the underground part to display properly, but it means you may need to place this building on perfectly flat terrain or else it will deform to any terrain curves.

What a gorgeous piece of American classical architecture! It is so unfortunate that it is currently abandoned. I do hope Gary comes back from its current destitution and can revive this amazing piece of architecture and American history. I am going to use this in my last city build as it's simply too beautiful. Thank you for making this and my condolences to you on the passing of your father. He sounds like a wonderful human and I know he is quite missed. ^^ <3

3 of 4 children and my wife born in Gary. Lived there for 12 years. Lots of good people lived there since its founding. Your creation is very accurate and a great way to honor your father.

I had not fully read the description when I wrote my enthusiastic comment. Sorry for your loss. This is certainly a touching way to honour someone as important as a father. Thank you for sharing this with us.
