Hyde Park Post Office Relocation Delayed to 1959
Officials said the Hyde Park post office formerly at 1132 E. 55th will not move until after the new 55th street shopping area is completed probably in spring 1959. The station closed pending demolition of the Iv building by the Chicago Land Clearance Commission. Local leaders criticize delays as harmful to Hyde residents and businesses.
