Historical Data	Gilbert Stanley Underwood designed the Post Office Terminal Annex, built in 1938, in the California Mission style; the supervising engineer was Neal A. Melick. The cupolas of the Terminal Annex are exact replicas of those of the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City. This building, which provided 400,000 square feet of floor space, served as the main mail distribution center from 1938 until 1994, where some 1700 Post Office employees handled over four million pieces of incoming and outgoing mail for the Metropolitan Los Angeles area daily. Although no longer used as a post office, it is used occasionally as a filming site. The Post Office Terminal Annex, also known as Los Angeles Terminal Annex Post Office, was added to the National Register of Historic Places - Building #85000131, on Jan. 11, 1985.
