Photograph appears with the article, "Postoffice Plans Told/Plans Revised on Postoffice," Los Angeles Times, 20 Aug 1935: A1.
Details on the project remain sparse, but it was revealed that the building will be about sixteen stories high and there will be great effort put into conference with city and railroad officials to satisfy the atmosphere that the city deserves.
