United States Post Office (Canandaigua, New York)

 * ... that, in 1906, local philanthropist Mary Clark Thompson not only donated the land for a new post office (pictured) in Canandaigua, New York, she commissioned Allen & Collens to design it as well?

5x expanded by Daniel Case (talk). Self nominated at 19:53, 15 July 2014 (UTC).


 * Symbol confirmed.svg 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, well referenced. Dup detector shows no close paraphrasing. The hook ref is not cited inline for the original hook, but is verified and cited inline for ALTs 1 and 2. Personally, I think ALT2 is snappier and hookiest. Image is public domain (another nice shot, Daniel!). QPQ done. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 20:38, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
