Old Post Office Tower


The Old Post Office is one of the last remaining examples of Richardsonian Romanesque Architecture in Washington, D.C. The dominant park feature is the spectacular view from the 270-foot tower observation level, which is one of the best of the nation's capital. The Old Post Office Tower is also home to the bells of the U.S. Congress. The Old Post Office is considered by many visitors as Washington's "hidden treasure."
