May 25, 1923. "Shrine post office." Set up for the big convention of Masonic orders held that year in Washington, D.C. The gent in front is Postmaster William M. Mooney. National Photo glass negative. View full size.
The truck is a Packard. The year is more difficult to determine but probably around 1915.
Note the massive grille guard, removable front window, side curtains, and one beat up front fender.

actually deliver mail to Zouaves?
