Urbsite: W.E. NOFFKE’s CENTRAL POST OFFICE

What is most often remarked upon is the Post Office’s totally contextual repetition, restatement and re-interpretation of the Langevin Block. But it also bonds with the East Block by echoing that building’s subsidiary towers in its elevator penthouse. When viewed from Major’s Hill Park, on the site where Greber had wanted to locate the War Memorial, the East Block and Post Office towers fall into precise alignment.
