This former post office is located on the corner of Alison Road and Avoca Street, in the eastern suburb of Randwick. The heritage listed building was designed by Walter Liberty Vernon as NSW Government Architect and built in 1898 in the Federation Free style. The post office closed in 1996 and it is now known as Easts House after it was bought by the Eastern Suburbs Rugby League Club (now Sydney Roosters) in 2000 to house the Ted Noffs Foundation dedicated to supporting vulnerable young people facing homelessness, mental health challenges and substance abuse.
A fine looking building. Nice info as well.
ReplyDeleteLovely old building and there is a lime scooter (as we call them), have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lime bike and I was tempted to move it out of the way but then thought it's a sign of the times.
DeleteSuperb architecture!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've seen a building quite like that. Loving it, and happy it's been repurposed.
ReplyDeleteThat's great
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the kept the building, it's beautiful. Around here they tear things down...
