- One piece with the ground
The Bronx General Post Office is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.

About the Bronx General Post Office
Thomas Harlan Ellett designed the Bronx General Post Office, also called the Bronx Central Post Office or the Bronx Central Annex. This historic building stands on the Grand Concourse in the South Bronx. It was finished in 1937 for the U.S. Post Office Department and went on to serve as a Postal Service branch. It fills a whole city block, with a granite terrace on every side.
The basement facade is granite, and the rest is gray brick with marble arches. Two sculptures stand beside the front doors facing the Grand Concourse: Henry Kreis's The Letter and Charles Rudy's Noah. The lobby holds a series of 13 murals by Ben Shahn and Bernarda Bryson, painted for the Section of Fine Arts of the U.S. Treasury Department. Of the whole building, only the lobby is customarily open to the public.
The Bronx first sought a central post office in 1902, and the land was acquired between 1910 and 1913. Ground was broken on June 13, 1936; the building opened on May 15, 1937, under the name Bronx Central Annex, and took the name Bronx General Post Office in 1963. New York City designated both its facade and interior as landmarks, and it holds a place in the National Register of Historic Places.
