| Description |
English: For Seattle's early citizens, the elegant Post Building, at the foot of Mill Street (now Yesler Way) was the best evidence that their town was no longer a pioneer village. The building had good reasons for its name. It housed the Post-Intelligencer newspaper; it was built at the corner of Mill Street and Post Alley; and, for a short time, the post office was in the basement.
This photo shows the front of the Post Building sometime between 1881 and June 1889. Like many buildings of its time, the facade of the Post Building is ornamented with cast iron, and it broadcasts its name and date of completion at the top.
