The sorting facility probably outgrew the building. In Nashville, TN, USA,
where I live, the 1930s Main Post Office facility, next to a railway
station, is now an art museum. The new Main Post Office facility is at
least 20 times larger, and located near the main airport. It includes a
small customer service area, but the main function of the building is sorting.

I suspect that is still relevant for many hand written envelopes &

according to wikipedia mail_centre is the word:

according to google, sorting office is most important in dictionaries
and mail centre is most important in the real world ;-)
This is interesting. From what wikipedia says, the building I was
tagging in Britain may not be classed as a sorting office/mail centre
any more, but a 'delivery office'. (only 28 taginfo of a claimed 1,356 -
maybe a good quarterly project for Talk-GB?).
