๐Ÿง  Fun fact

A fun fact about the Chicago Post Office at 404 West Harrison is that it once held the title of the largest post office in the world when it was completed in 1921. This massive building, often referred to as the Old Chicago Main Post Office, spans over 2.5 million square feet and features nine floors.

The opening scene where the Joker (Heath Ledger) brilliantly robs the Gotham National Bank was filmed at the Chicago Post Office on 404 West Harrison.

The exterior buildings are the ones located at the northern corner of West Van Buren Street and Canal Street. West Van Buren Street is also where the Joker escapes with a school bus.
