About the Federal Building and Post Office, Brooklyn
In Downtown Brooklyn, at 271-301 Cadman Plaza East, the Federal Building and Post Office serves as a post office, a courthouse and a federal office building. The first building there was the Brooklyn General Post Office, also called the Downtown Brooklyn Station, while the north addition holds the bankruptcy court of the Eastern District of New York. In 2009 Congress renamed the building as a United States Bankruptcy Courthouse honoring chief bankruptcy judge Conrad B. Duberstein.
Brooklyn was still an independent city when planning for a post office there began in 1885. Mifflin E. Bell, the U.S. Treasury Department's supervising architect, designed it in the Romanesque Revival style. After Bell resigned, his successor William A. Freret revised the design into a bolder Romanesque building, and Bell's more elaborate details, including larger corner towers, were not carried through to the finished building. Construction was completed in 1891, and the interior spaces were finished and occupied in 1892.
A compatible addition, designed in 1930 under James A. Wetmore of the Office of the Supervising Architect, extended the building to the north and was completed in 1933. The original portion is four stories high and the addition seven. Its steeply pitched roofs, ornamental ironwork cresting, dormers and a tower give it a picturesque look. In 1966 the city designated it a landmark, and in 1974 it joined the National Register of Historic Places.
