Comment: The old Boston Post Office occupied the site on Post Office Square since the early 1870's. This handsome Second Empire style Post Office and Sub-Treasury Building was replaced with the construction of the John W. McCormack Post Office and Court House. Construction began in 1931 and occupied in 1933. The Boston, MA Post Office was established on November 5, 1639 with Richard Fairbanks as its first postmaster.
