Old Post Office Building


Washington, DC--This is the Old Post Office Building on Pennsylvania Avenue. It was recently bought by Donald Trump with the idea of turning the Building Museum into a hotel. The clock tower has great views of the city.

i have been there several times. the last time i was there my son and i got stuck in that old elevator that goes to the top of the tower. we were leaving and the door closed but then wouldn't open and the elevator didn't move. you could say that i sorta panicked. never so happy to see a door open...

It does look perfect for a hotel, but maybe not if it means getting rid of a good museum!! I like the way you've shown it Luis.

Wonderful perspective. You have really emphasized the height. Would love to get up into that clock tower.

I'm guessing I will not afford to stay there when he is finished with the hotel. But it is an impressive looking building.

Very nice. That old building looks like it would be a fantastic hotel. Wonder if Donald will let folks climb the tower (well it'd be for a price I guess) Good he is not tearing it down or making a gambling joint.

I too remember this tower and the view. It is good that Trump will make something useful with the old post office. Wonderful shot Luis :^)
