Thank you Michael and Arthur !


Another view from the 1970s, Taft Avenue, looking towards Manila Central Post Office.



William Howard Taft was first U.S. Governor General of the Philippines ( 1901-04 ) and subsequently 27th U.S. President ( 1909-13 ).


The Post Office was built in 1926, severely damaged in World War II, and rebuilt in 1946, preserving most of its original architecture.
