Palacio de Correos de México ( Postal Palace of Mexico City ) also known as the " Correo Mayor " ( Main Post Office ) is located in the historic center of Mexico City , on the Eje Central ( Lazaro Cardenas ) near the Palacio de Bellas Artes . It was built in 1907 , when the Post Office here became a separate government entity . Its design and construction was the most modern of the time , including a very eclectic style mixing several different traditions into a very complex design . In the 1950s , the building was modified in a way that caused stress and damage , so when the 1985 earthquake struck Mexico City , this building was heavily damaged . In the 1990s , restoration work has brought the building back to original construction and appearance
