I am in the international building trades New Jersey at this time I happen to be working in Perth Amboy and had to go to a post office found it As I was walking up I was amazed by the beautiful brickwork that the Perth Amboy post office has amazingly beautiful
The amazing craftsmanship now that’s a building to admire and take pictures of the state or anyone ever that thought about dismantling that building should be ashamed of their self and or never seen it that’s a building to preserve at any cost.
