[edit] Landmark status of building
Where did it take hold that James Farley Post Office is a National Historic Landmark? Is that a new designation? It is not listed in what I believe to be one official source, the NHL listings at NPS. It is not listed at National Park Service listings of National Historic Landmarks. Not under "James Farley Post Office", nor under "General Post Office", nor under "United States Post Office". I don't know what other landmark designations it has received, but not this one, AFAIK. Therefore the article needs to be corrected, right? doncram 06:21, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- In fact I just edited out all mention of National Historic Landmark in the article. If it got a different landmark status in 1982, say a NYC or NYS designation, that should be described. doncram 06:37, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "R.F."?
I was just at the Farley Post Office last night and noticed the huge initials "R.F." carved into the ceiling. What does that stand for? I can't find that information anywhere, not even at usps.com. --204.246.229.239 16:13, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
This also stumped me as well....but I think I finally got it, I am about 99.1% sure that with its original roots as the old PA Rail Station, the RF should stand for the line. Richmond, Fredericksburg. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ret63 (talk • contribs) 03:16, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
