Description

Color photograph print of a plaque for the establishment of a Broomfield post office building at 1380 Midway Boulevard, circa 1980. The print is 2.5" x 3.25." The plaque was issued in 1958 shortly after the new location opened. The names of US President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield, Deputy Postmaster General Edson O. Sessions, and multiple Assistant Postmaster Generals were engraved on the plaque. The photograph was likely taken at a newer post office location at 1505 West 1st Avenue opened in 1972, where the plaque was later moved.

Provenance

Notes

This photograph was originally owned by Robert Crawford, and later donated to the Broomfield Depot Museum in 2013 with several other photographs and documents. Much of the material pertains to Robert's father, Miles Crawford, who was Broomfield's postmaster from 1944 to 1966, as well as to the general history of Broomfield from the late nineteenth century onward.
