6. There‘s an Event Space for Fashion Shows Inside the James A. Farley Post Office


Did you know that the James A. Farley Post Office houses an event space for fashion shows? In 2013, Untapped Cities founder, Michelle Young, had the opportunity to step inside for the 3.1 Phillip Lim Fashion Week Show. Called Skylight at Moynihan Station, the venue occupies the industrial space of the building, also known as the mail sorting room and postal dock.
According to Skylight Studio’s website, the mail sorting room features a 47-feet-high, dome ceiling, “lustrous” black tile floor and 45,000-square-feet of interior space. The Postal Dock, on the other hand, has an industrial steel and glass skylight ceiling, 26,000-square-feet of interior space and a ceiling height of 30 feet.
