1941: One of the last two horse-drawn mail carts used by the Spokane Post Office for downtown mail delivery sits beside the original 1909 federal building on Riverside Court, a small side street used by postal delivery vehicles. The plaza in front of the 1967 Thomas S. Foley United States Courthouse next door was built up to level the sloping street. The 1941 expansion expanded post office space and also moved loading docks to the Main Avenue side. The light-colored three-story building at far right was the Cascade Building, which housed a variety of retail stores on the ground floor and a few apartments upstairs. It was torn down to clear the way for The Spokesman-Review building in the early 1980s.    (Spokesman-Review photo archives)

Can you name some of the mail delivery cars parked down the line?
