Description
Deutsch: Das Postverteilzentrum des United States Postal Service und dahinter das Empfangsgebäude der 30th Street Station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Beide Gebäude entstanden um 1930 im Zuge der „Philadelphia Improvements“, eines Projekts zur städtebauliche Umgestaltung des Bahnhofsbereichs. Sie stehen oberhalb der Gleise der unteren Gleisebene; das Postgebäude bedeckt dabei das südliche Gleisfeld, die Personenbahnsteige befinden sich im Untergeschoss des Empfangsgebäudes.
Die Fahrbahn ganz rechts am Flussufer ist eine der Rampen, die vom Schuylkill Expressway auf die Straßenebene hinaufführen.
English: U. S. Postal Service Building, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
This mail distribution center was erected in 1930 using a style similar to 30th Street Station behind. Both were part of the “Philadelphia Improvements”, an urban-renewal project undertaken by the city and the Pennsylvania Railroad during the late 1920s. The building covers almost the whole southern track field.
The roadway right next to the river is one of the ramps leading up from the Schuylkill Expressway to the street level.
