| Low resolution? |
Yes |
| Purpose of use |
Depict appearance of popular post office building demolished to make way for current one. Article discusses design, status as local landmark and opposition to removing it. |
| Replaceable? |
Cannot create free replacement (if image is indeed still under copyright) for picture of building demolished almost 75 years ago |
| Other information |
The date and photographer are unknown. The information on the source webpage indicates the card was postmarked Dec. 1, 1945, over a decade after the old post office was demolished. Car and trolley tracks on street suggest it could have been taken in the 1920s, but that does not narrow it down sufficiently enough to state with certainty whether it was taken before 1929 and thus in the public domain, or after. So I, the uploader, have erred on the side of caution and consider it uncertain whether it is copyrighted or not, and have marked it as unsure and given it the appropriate tag and fair-use rationale in case it is not currently out of copyright |

Licensing
[edit]
 | This image is a two-dimensional representation of a building or architectural work which has been destroyed, demolished, or otherwise permanently altered in a way that makes it impossible to take a new photograph serving the same encyclopedic purpose. This image is protected by copyright by the publisher of the destroyed architecture. It is believed that the use of low-resolution versions of such images
qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

| Note: If any public domain or freely licensed photograph of the building is discovered or obtained, this image should be deleted and replaced. If the building is out of copyright in its home country or if said photograph was taken in a country which has freedom of panorama for buildings and architectural works which do not restrict commercial use (such as the United States; see here for a full list of which countries are OK), consider uploading to Wikimedia Commons instead, which allows other Wikimedia projects to use the image. If the building is copyrighted in its home country and there is no freedom of panorama provision in that country, then upload it locally under a free license, appending the tag {{FoP-USonly}}. | |
