The Terminal Annex Post Office was constructed in 1938 on Alameda Street next to Union Station. Designed by Gilbert Stanley Underwood, the building served as the city’s central mail distribution and processing center. The caption on the reverse of this 1940s postcard notes that the towers of the Mission-style structure are “exact replicas of those of the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City.”

In 1926, more than 50 years after the Los Angeles Library Association was founded in 1872, the Los Angeles Public Library was finally housed in its own building. Located on the site of the old State Normal School, the new library was bounded on the north by Fifth Street and on the east by Grand Avenue. The library is shown from its Flower Street entrance, with the Edison Building to the left and the Bible Institute on the right.
