Baltimore Post Office - Fayette and Lexington Streets

This stately Italian Renaissance building, completed in 1889, was the "old" Baltimore Post Office. The nine-towered bulding was razed in 1930. According to The Historical Marker Database, "during the Great Fire of 1904, postal employees withstood immense heat to save the building by dousing its windows with buckets of water."
