Railway post office in Saratov

Прижелезнодорожный почтамт в Саратове

During the Soviet period Lengiprotrans designed a number of railway post offices. One of the first was Rizhsky, whose successful design solution was noted by the Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of Transport Construction of the USSR. In this regard, the institute was instructed to develop projects for other post offices, including Saratov.

The project of the railway post office in Saratov was developed in 1961-1965. The work was carried out simultaneously with the reconstruction of the Saratov railway station.
