Construction of the Old Post Office was begun in 1892 and completed in 1899. The building is an example of Richardsonian Romanesque, part of 19th century US Romanesque Revival architecture. Its bell tower is the third tallest structure in Washington, excluding the radio towers. It was used as the main general post office in the city until 1914, at the beginning of the First World War
