The skylight-covered loading dock at the James A. Farley Building will be a pedestrian walkway connecting 34th Street and 31st Street in the planned Moynihan Station.
The James A. Farley Building, New York City's General Post Office (Zip Code 10001), located at 421 Eighth Avenue and occupying eight acres across two full city blocks, consists of the old general post office building and its western annex. The Farley Post Office holds the distinction of being the only Post Office in New York City that is open to the public 24 hours/7 days a week.
The James A. Farley Building was constructed in two stages. The original monumental front half, boasting the longest giantr order Corinthian colonnade in the world, was built by William M. Kendall of McKim, Mead & White from 1908-1913 and opened for postal business as the Pennsylvania Terminal in 1914. The imposing design was meant to match in strength the colonnade of Pennsylvania Station that originally faced it across the avenue. An unbroken flight of steps the full length of the colonnade provides access, for the main floor devoted to customer services is above a functional basement level that rises out of a dry moat giving light and air to workspaces below. Each of the square end pavilions is capped with a low saucer dome, expressed on the exterior as a low stepped pyramid.
In July 1918, the building was renamed the General Post Office Building and was doubled in space in 1934 by James Farley, replacing the 1878 Post Office at Park Row and Broadway. In 1982, the building was renamed once more as the James A. Farley Building. Farley was the nation's 53rd Postmaster General and served from 1933 to 1940. As a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in 1940, he was only the second Roman Catholic to receive delegates towards such a nomination after Alfred E. Smith. Farley also served as a campain manager to both Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt, and is considered the finest Athletic Commissioner/Boxing Commissioner in New York State history.
The building prominently bears the inscription: "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." Commonly mistaken as an official motto of the United States Postal Service, it is actually taken from Herodotus' Histories (Book 8, Ch. 98) and describes the faithful service of the Persian system of mounted postal messengers under Xerxes I of Persia.
Moynihan Station, a planned train terminal, would expand Penn Station into the Farley Post Office Building. Plans for the expansion of the the busiest train station in the country, serving more than 550,000 daily passengers, the busiest train station in the country with more than 550,000 daily passengers. It has since gone through a portracted series of delays and redesigns over the years. Phase I of the current plan, "Moynihan Moving Forward", broke ground in 2010 and, with work occuring only on nights and weekends, is expected to be complete by 2016. The phase consists of mostly below-grade, transportation infrastructure improvements including the expansion of the Long Island Rail Road West End Concourse under the Farley building steps to serve Amtrak and New Jersey Transit platforms, new entrances through the Farley Building, and improved ventilation. The second phase includes a sky-lit grand hall with 1 million square feet of retail space. The Farley Building's facade will remain untouched, and it will retain retail postal lobby services . However, all mail processing operations will be relocated one block away to the Morgan Processing and Distribution Center.
The United States General Post Office was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1966.

I took this shot from my friends' hotel room. It looks like something is being either loaded in or loaded out of the center.

In the dark along Little West 12th Street, Antonia sings on the sidewalk, trying to raise money to replace the sum that she gave to Sebastian in his distracted moment of need.
I've said aplenty about Little West 12th Night in other recent captions (see the set of them here), and so I won't recap(tion) too deeply here. Suffice to say that Antonia's tour group audience has joined up with a few other fellow travelers inside the Brass Monkey, across the street, and they'll come out to join in soon enough for a bit of angry confrontation among characters.
The play imagines the characters of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night as locals in the Meatpacking District, and so when they crop up in a series of intertwining neighborhood tours, is anyone really surprised?
This was a shot the company requested particularly: not down to angles and details, of course, but something that captured the feel of an actor in her role amid the loading docks and refuse of the Meatpacking District at night. It's one of my favorites from the shoot.

Globe Works the former factory and Warehouse of Robey and Co, on Canwick Road in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Robert Robey and his partner William Watkinson (former employees of Clayton and Shuttleworth) started the Perseverance Ironworks in St Rumbold Street in 1854. The venture was short-lived. By December 1854 it was Robey, Wilkinson and George Lamb Scott, but the partnerships were disolved in the following month. Robey founded his new works on Canwick Road in 1856 in collaboration with Scott, then Thomas Gamble. By 1882 most of the building work was complete, with structures parallel to the Lincoln Avoiding Railway Line on the south side and extending beyond the parish boundary. The site covered 7 acres and contained 2 miles of railway sidings in 1893/4.
The company began by making agricultural machinery, steam engines, thrashing machines, traction engines, and steam ploughs, later developing into mining and industrial engines, dynamos and gas and oil engines in the 1890s. The premises in 1893/4 comprised a foundry, pattern store, pattern making shop, pig iron store, boiler shop, smithy, fitting, turning and erecting shops, thrashing machine shop, dry wood store, testing, lagging, painting and loading docks and an electricity generating dept. The works were the first in Lincoln to be lit by electricity. Other sources of power were gas, steam and hydraulic, for cranes and riveters. Internal tramways carried products through the various processes, and private railway sidings connected to the GNR / LNER at Pelham Street junction. An aeroplane shop was added in 1917 on the south corner of Canwick Road and Dunford Road. Robeys produced a range of military products in WW1 including aircraft, such as the Sopwith 806 Gunbus, Short 184 seaplane, Peters Fighting Machine and "Longhorn" plane. Test flights took place from landing strips and hangars on West Common and an aerodrome built in 1916 at Bracebridge Heath.
Like other engineering companies, Robeys receded between the wars and a receiver was appointed in 1933. However, the firm continued to make steam engines into the 1950s. A tower over the main entrance was removed in the 1960s. There was a take-over by Newall Dunford Engineering Ltd and renaming as "Robeys of Lincoln" in 1969. In 1985 it was acquired by Babcock International. Some of the site was demolished in 1986, leaving the offices, two large bays to the north, and the south complex; boilers were made until closure in February 1988.
The south facade preserves most of its original features with its row of ten red brick gable ends. The wide central gable has a long flat parapet with curved ends and contains nine tall arched recesses. Frames of a travelling crane remain at the east end, but none of the many original chimneys remains. The northern part of the Canwick Road facade remains, but the southern section survives only as an outside wall. The remaining buildings are now used by Jacksons Building Centre as a DIY retail outlet and a building-supplies depot.
