Terms Governing Use:
Biographical/Historical:     In February 1915, Congress provided $102,500 for the building of a United States Post Office in St. Petersburg, Florida. The postmaster at this time, Roy S. Hanna, pushed for an unconventional open-air design that featured a structure surrounded by a loggia on three sides to provide 24-hour access to mailboxes. From 1915 to 1916, James A. Wetmore, supervisory architect for the U.S. Treasury Department, completed architectural drawings for the proposed structure. The dedication ceremony was held on September 27, 1917.
Summary:     The collection consists of architectural blueprints for the United States Post Office in St. Petersburg, Florida that the U.S. Treasury Department commissioned in 1916. Drawn up under supervisory architect James A. Wetmore, the blueprints include front elevations, sections of the loggia and walls, and details of the stairway.
