The post office in the northern suburb of Hunters Hill is a heritage building that has been listed on the Register of the National Estate. Located in Alexandra Street, it was built in the 1890s by the government architect Walter Liberty Vernon, in the Queen Anne style.
this looks like a great old building to explore with a camera
ReplyDeleteNice to see an old style Post Office survive and not replaced by a Post Shop.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see it has been Heritage Listed
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful building and I'm glad to see it is still being used.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely old building. Glad to see it remaining in service. I like it.
ReplyDeleteI am with Andrew, I don't like small, crowded, modernist Post Shops full of commercial crap that has nothing to do with an old style post office. Walter Liberty Vernon, an architect I know very well, can be proud.
ReplyDeleteHow proud you must be living at such a place.
ReplyDeletePlease have a good Thursday.

Beautiful strong building, I like it too.
ReplyDeleteYou know my thoughts on Post Offices, very happy to see one functioning in its proper location :)
ReplyDeleteold building's awesome
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how substantial Post Office buildings are. I wonder if this was their important or just the fact that they are government buildings.
ReplyDeleteReally nice fine old building, rightly listed. Here in England we too had many fine post offices and now they have mostly been closed and converted into restaurants or some other use. Meanwhile if you want to do anything more than post a letter prepare for a really long queue, sometimes out of the door.
