James A. Farley Post Office Building
The James A. Farley Post Office Building is the main United States Postal Service building in New York City. Its ZIP code designation is 10001. Built in 1912, the building is famous for bearing the inscription: "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." Formerly the General Post Office Building, it was officially renamed in 1982 as a monument and testament to the political career of the nation's 53rd Postmaster General.
The Farley Post Office is home to "Operation Santa", made famous in the classic film ''Miracle on 34th Street'' (1947), and it is the inspiration for the post office in Terry Pratchett's novel ''Going Postal'' (2004), with its "Glom of nit" legend.
==Overview==
The Farley Building consists of the old general post office building and its western annex. The Farley building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and occupies two full city blocks, an footprint straddling the tracks of the Northeast Corridor and the Farley Corridor (sub-district B)〔http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/pdf/hyards/hy_chap11_g1_fgeis_final.pdf〕 in western Midtown Manhattan. The building fronts on the west side of Eighth Avenue, across from Pennsylvania Station and Madison Square Garden. It is located at 421 Eighth Avenue, between 31st Street and 33rd Street in the New York City borough of Manhattan.
The Farley Post Office once held the distinction of being the only Post Office in New York City open to the public 24 hours a day, seven days a week. But in 2009, due to the economic downturn, its windows began to close at 10:00 p.m.
