The front of the Rancho Peñasquitos Post Office building doesn’t feature art, it IS the art!
I was walking through Rancho Peñasquitos yesterday when I saw something shiny and silvery up on a hill, so I investigated. These photographs show what I discovered!
Few people were around on a Sunday, which made this sight even more surreal. It was as though I’d stepped into a contemporary sculpture garden, and this was the enormous abstract centerpiece.
I don’t know a single thing about his unusual post office building. I tried to google its history, date of construction, designer . . . could find nothing.
If I do happen upon any information concerning the architecture of this very unique post office, I’ll “post” an update here!
If you know anything, please leave a comment!

Could this have any thing to do with why the USPS is not showing a profit. Looks a lot expensive.

It certainly doesn’t look modest! I’ve determined so far that it was built in the early 90’s.

No. Congress is the reason. I had a great 33 year career at the Post Office.

Richard, did you check for a plaque inside the lobby? Just a though.

I realized afterward that I should have. But I did speak to someone today who used to work at this post office and I learned they had an album concerning the building, and that it was built in the early 1990’s.
