Since its completion in 1933, the U.S. Post Office and Courthouse has been an important landmark in Alexandria, the county seat of Rapides Parish, Louisiana. Designed by Shreveport architect Edward F. Neild, under the supervision of the Office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department, the building is an excellent example of Depression-era Art Deco architecture. It was not only designed to serve a federal function but to express the permanence and presence of the federal government in the cities and communities in which the buildings were being constructed. However, the construction of the Alexandria U.S. Post Office and Courthouse in 1932-1933 was not simply a reflection of the growing needs of a city or federal court. As one of more than 1,300 public buildings built under the auspices of the Office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department during the early 1930's, the Alexandria building was an example of the government's use of federal construction projects to stimulate employment during the Depression. From 1926 to 1931, a series of legislation was enacted that culminated into this massive public building program. The Public Buildings Act of 1926 served as the catalyst, authorizing the construction of a number of buildings in communities previously without federal buildings. In 1928, appropriations allotted under the 1926 act were increased in response to U.S. Post Office and Department of the Treasury reports indicating a need for more space. As the effects of the Depression began to be felt all over the country, the government released additional funds in 1930 and 1931 for public building projects. During 1931, the Federal Employment Stabilization Act was passed to further stimulate the economy. This act permitted the president and congress to authorize additional appropriations for construction projects in order to facilitate employment. The 1930 and 1931 appropriations, coupled with the Federal Stabilization Act, were reflective of how the government used public works projects to combat the early years of the economic depression.
On May 18, 2000, the U.S. Post Office & Courthouse in Alexandria, LA was found to be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places for its association with the federal construction programs designed to relieve the economic emergency of the Depression years (criteria A) and as an excellent example Art Deco architecture (criteria C) used in the design of public buildings during the 1930's. All of the information above (and much more) was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration with the National Register and can be viewed here:

Looking for signs of spring in the deep woods.
Charlie is a pretty patient supervisor!

This location is on railroad property and was accessed under the supervision of a more or less mentally competent railroad employee.
The soup was delicious and now maid Fabienne is preparing the main course for our dinner. It's difficult to find good personnel these days so as a lady you have to keep an eye on your maid to make sure that she doesn't mess up. That's a task that I happily do; supervising a cute satin maid is a pleasure. Don't get me wrong though; if she messes up then I'll firmly correct and reprimand her.
The boss is not that happy, it seems :)

Not really. Just keeping me company while I hang laundry, and keeping me company is of course a big part of Grant's job.
Sole would never try to get outside but he is interested in everything that goes on out there. Here he's keeping tabs on my evening garden care routine. Bless 'im.
Thought I would post a sign (for Daves amusement)

ADDITIONAL NOTES.
This former Bogie Trestle Flat Wagon was one of four built for general freight use by BR in 1950. Three of these triple axle bogie Trolley flat wagons ended up with the BR Research & Development unit, no's. B 901600, 601, 603.
RDB 901601 depicted here saw a cabin built on the wagon deck which comprised a generator compartment, laboratory and staff accommodation. It's primary use was for track measuring operations supervised by the Derby RTC Track Development Unit. The name 'Cyclops' was assigned to the vehicle as it was intended to fit Laser Measuring Equipment but this never took place so the "One Eyed Monster" never came to life. By 1987 the vehicle was out of use probably down to the fact it was 35mph restricted and had no train brake. It moved from Derby to storage at York where it gained a KDB prefix suggesting imminent re-use by the Signal & Telegraph Engineers Department but to my knowledge this second lease of life never happened and the vehicle went for scrap.
In September 2009 a large grass fire was sparked on Communication Hill in San Jose following a Transformer explosion. San Jose Fire department called for a Tier 3 Wildland Response plus a County wildland task force plus a CalFire high response.
As is common on larger fires the AMR Field Supervisor was also on scene, in addition to a transport ambulance in case there is an injury.
This unit is a Ford F350 chassis with a custom built body.
