On July 26th, 1775, the Second Continental Congress bestowed the rank of Postmaster General of the United Colonies upon Benjamin Franklin.

By 1790, there were 75 Post Offices with operating expenses totaling $32,000.

In stark contrast, in the year 2000 there were over 27,000 US Post Offices delivering over 200 billion pieces of mail per year with operating expenses of $63 billion.

Today, we lead very different lives than the Americans before us. We purchase more goods on the Internet and through thousands of mail-order catalogs than ever before.

2 On July 26th, 1775, the Second Continental Congress bestowed the rank of Postmaster General of the United Colonies upon Benjamin Franklin. As the first Postmaster General, Franklin had responsibility for mail delivery between Congress and the armies, and was paid $1000 per year for his services. By 1790, there were 75 Post Offices with operating expenses totaling $32,000. Eighteenth century mail consisted primarily of very small envelopes and deliveries were made by foot and horse to the colonies and surrounding areas. In stark contrast, in the year 2000 there were over 27,000 US Post Offices delivering over 200 billion pieces of mail per year with operating expenses of $63 billion. Deliveries now include parcels, catalogs, prescription medicine, electronic media and priority mail. US mail now reaches every corner of our country by air, rail, road and sidewalk. Today, we lead very different lives than the Americans before us. We purchase more goods on the Internet and through thousands of mail-order catalogs than ever before. Our home improvement spending has reached record levels and housing starts continue to grow at alarming rates despite a sluggish economic climate. In addition, mail security and identity theft continue to be growing concerns in neighborhoods across the country. These factors contribute to an emerging need for innovative mail receptacles that address a very diverse set of demands. Architectural Mailboxes offers products that meet the needs of contemporary American lifestyles. Our larger designs allow for increased delivery volume. In fact, our patented Oasis mailboxes allow for the secure delivery of small parcels and other bulky items, eliminating the need for parcel pickup at your local Post Office. Locking access doors on several models provide a secure environment for delivered mail. We use a palette of fresh colors and metallic finishes that appeal to today s homeowners discerning tastes and complement current home building trends. Our progressive approach to design will continue to generate mailbox products that serve our ever-changing society. ACHITECTUAL MAILBOXES
