POST Houston in Houston, Texas
Built in 1934, POST was built as a depot adjacent to Houston's Grand Central Station. The building was designed by Wilson, Morris, Crain and Anderson—the same architects behind the Astrodome—and later served as the headquarters for the U.S. Postal Service in Houston. It still features multiple nuclear bomb shelters and “spy tunnels” once used to make sure employees weren’t stealing mail. When the building opened to the public in 1961, the celebration was so grand it included lions from the Houston Zoo. Decommissioned in 2015, the building hosted the Day for Night music festival. Today, POST houses a music venue, art club, and cyberpunk-themed dining hall serving global cuisine. Its rooftop garden is open to the public and offers a great view of the downtown skyline. The building still nods to its past, with features like a bar named Return to Sender and old vaults near the side entrance.
