Vault Door
Vaults of varying sizes were placed throughout the upper and lower levels of the Old Post Office building to store money, stamps, and other valuables.
The door to the left, fabricated by Mosler Safe Company in Hamilton, Ohio, is from a vault located on the northeast corner of the fifth floor.
During the redevelopment process, a seal was uncovered below the first layer of paint. This first layer has since been removed in an effort to display the original seal, which can now be seen here. |
