Vladivostok Post Office and House of Eleanor Pray
The famous Vladivostok Post Office is located in an old building, built in the style of Russian architecture of the XVII century. It has been working for more than 100 years! The only serious break in his work occurred during the general strike of the workers in 1905.
The Vladivostok Post Office is known in the city for the fact that an American Eleanor Pray, who came to Vladivostok at the end of the 19th century with her husband and fell in love with the city, sent letters everywhere via this post office. Now the house, in which Mrs. Pray lived for 36 years, is after her name. On the first floor of the house there used to be a store with American goods owned by the relatives of Mrs. Pray's husband. On the upper floors there were living rooms with windows overlooking the Golden Horn Bay. It is always waving with amazing warmth and sincerity from the house, as well as from the story of Eleanor Pray herself, who carefully preserved her memories of Vladivostok on the pages of almost two thousand letters which she wrote and daily sent to her relatives and friends. Eleanor Pray's granddaughter was able to preserve and put all the letters in order. They were translated into Russian already in our time and a book was made of them.
