_That is beautiful! What a shame it has fallen into this state._

@gaylenewood7707 4 года назад

I'm wondering why doesnt pa have a place that can take a certain part of the building to preserve it for later as a museum educational purposes heck in quincy Illinois there's a place that does that anytime an old building is getting torn down they go and get a certain piece and save it..

@maj8301 2 года назад

Incompetent, immoral low-class people in New Castle government let these historic buildings rot and then they tear them down. It's happened over and over again. Cascade Park was one of the first amusement parks in America, look at what happened to IT. It should have been given national historic landmark status and saved. Nope. They TORE IT ALL DOWN! Same thing with the old Elks building. Incompetent idiots in leadership positions in New Castle have ruined what used to be a really great place to live. Absolutely sickening.

I had a realtor reach out to me to make a video of an old barn. The owner was having trouble selling it and my video helped make a sale. Id absolutely reach out to the realty company and ask to film to help promote sale.

When the US Postal service moved to a new location near the downtown mall, the original PO Building was home to Catholic Charities, medical treatment for those with mental disabilities, etc. I wonder when they finally stopped using the building after Catholic Charities moved to a larger space back in the early 2000s? My mother's office was overlooking the street when she used to work for Catholic Charities in that building on the top floor.

it was such an awesome place back in the day! i remember going there with my dad and grandpa back in the 70's..you should have gone over to the post office lunch and had lunch..best chili fries. or at least they used to have

@misterhat5823 4 года назад

The cost of running that old building. The USPS has been financially strapped since the government quit subsidizing it.

@carmenmonoxide5371 4 года назад

As big as this building is, it did not have the space needed for the Postal Service. Very limited parking for postal vans, limited floor space inside. The structure is big and impressive outside, not so much inside.

@MonkeyRatSaq 4 года назад

The USPS closed this location in 1982. Continued to be used by retail tenants until 2018/19. Abandoned now.

@fmlmreno 3 года назад

I was in there many times. Thought there were marble floors , & built very sturdy. Area across street is The Diamond..

@GabrielSBarbaraS 4 года назад

I have been in the building when it was a post office years ago, it was as impressive on the inside. When the industries pulled out of New Castle so did the people and small businesses, New Castle is but a skeleton of what it once was back about 50 or 70 years ago.

@maj8301 2 года назад

Incompetent idiots in New Castle government gave us the decay we see today. Historic landmarks torn down. Manufacturing businesses prevented from opening up. Just unbelievably stupid decision making by the so-called "leaders" of New Castle. They do nothing but "lead" the city into 3rd world status. Nothing but decay everywhere. Sickening.

@doug9066 4 года назад

These old buildings are beautiful especially seeing the marble at the entry way & I'm willing to bet could be more marble walls as old banks had. I'd guess at the looks of the outside could be more than 100 years old but I could be wrong. Thank you for sharing Wallie.
