Manila Central Post Office (Bureau of Post) on the Pasig River, Manila, Philippine Islands
The Manila Central Post Office, a Neoclassical landmark completed in 1926 along the Pasig River, is captured here in a period postcard view. As one of the city's most recognizable civic buildings during the American colonial era, the Bureau of Post exemplified the grand architectural ambitions of early 20th-century Manila before the devastation of World War II.
