EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around 1906, captures the impressive facade of the Custom House and Post Office building in Memphis, Tennessee. The image, which measures 8 x 10 inches, is a testament to the neoclassical architectural style that was popular during the early 20th century in the United States. The building, located in the heart of Memphis, served as a hub for communication and finance, housing both the Custom House, where imported goods were inspected and duties were assessed, and the Post Office, which facilitated the delivery of mail throughout the city and beyond. The Custom House and Post Office building, designed by architect Edwin H. Husher, is a significant historic site in Memphis and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Its neoclassical design, characterized by its grand columns, intricate detailing, and symmetrical facade, reflects the city's rich heritage and its role as a center of commerce and education. The building also housed the School of Law, making it an important institution for higher learning in the community. This photograph, which is believed to be a dry plate or glass negative, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a visual record of a bygone era. The image, from the collection of Detroit Publishing Company, is now held in the Library of Congress, making it accessible to researchers, historians, and anyone interested in the history of Memphis and the United States during the early 1900s.
