Exterior photograph of a window, its decorative columns and lintel and a sculpted eagle on the facade of the United States Post Office Federal Building located in Denver, Colorado. The Neoclassical Revival style building was designed by the New York architectural firm of Tracy, Swartwout and Litchfield in 1909. Due to its monumental proportions, construction of Colorado Yule marble building was not completed until 1916. The building served as an impetus for a massive municipal renewal program and its design influenced the character of governmental structures throughout the city of Denver.
