[Inside the U.S. Post Office Central]

Photograph of the interior of the U.S. Post Office Central at 251 W. Lancaster in Fort Worth, Texas. The ceiling is ornately carved and decorated with a repeating circular motif inside of many squares. The walls are made of stone tile at the top and polished, solid stone at the bottom. Dark baseboards line the walls. Double doors sit on automatic hinges underneath an arch that boasts a clock in its center. A few sections of the wall jut out and are made to look like columns. These are made out of a dark granite. An actual column of the same material stands to the left of the photo. A pendant light hangs from the center of the ceiling. The photo was taken as a long exposure, so there are phantom visitors who are see-through and blurry.

[A view of West Lancaster Street in Fort Worth, at night]

Photograph of West Lancaster Street in Fort Worth, Texas. The photo is taken from underneath the Interstate 30 freeway. A large building, a Texas and Pacific warehouse sits on the other side of W Lancaster as the camera. Most of the lights in the building are off, but a few of its many, many windows shine bright. The photo is taken at night, so all of the streetlights are on. A handful of cars are parked in the parking lot directly next to the warehouse. The long exposure photo has streaks of light on the roads, from where cars drove past as the photo was being taken. Two stoplights hang from the bottom of the interstate, emitting light.

[The front entrance of the Sinclair building in Fort Worth]

Photograph of the entrance to the Sinclair building in Fort Worth, located at 512 Main Street. The building is in the Art Deco style. The entrance has a geometric archway in the shape of a step-pyramid. The arch is symmetrical with five distinct sections of decoration. The outer two sections are the smallest and feature a metal flower with geometric leaves on its stem. The inner two have what appears to be reminiscent of a fountain, also made out of metal. The center section of the archway has a variety of geometric patterns and shapes made out of thin metal. The band at the bottom of the arch, separating it from the building's identifier, is filled with triangular shapes. The building's name is written on polished marble, and it reads "SINCLAIR BUILDING." There are two sets of double doors below this, each with large metal kickplates. Shrubs sit in pots on either side of the entrance. There are multiple plaques on the walls by the arch, along with a sconce light.

[The lobby of the Sinclair Building]

Photograph of the lobby of the Sinclair Building located at 512 Main Street in Fort Worth. The floor is made with square tile, all slightly different shades. Small, darkly colored, diamond shaped tiles sit at the intersection of each group of four larger tiles. A border goes around the edges of the floor. This border is also tile with thin bands of light tile on the edges, and dark tile creating a triangular pattern. This border separates the square tiles from the polished granite that continues from the wall, which are made of the same dark granite. Two elevator doors stand in insets of the wall. Above each inset, a geometric, Art Deco arch frames a lighter granite, to showcase the doorway. The doors themselves are corrugated. Another door on another wall is framed out with the same Art Deco arch. The section of the lobby with the elevators is divided from the rest of the lobby, and it has a tray ceiling with light strips on each level. A bowl pendant hangs from the ceiling, the light inside it turned on. To the right of the photo, the lobby continues with a glass window showing a display case of …
