Item Detail
Summary
The sign on the building reads: Post & Telegraph Office. Built as the Public Offices, then used by the Legislative Council until 1870. The Post Office occupied the building 1870-1890. After 1890 the building reverted to its original function and then became the Dept. of Agriculture until it was demolished in 1961. Designed by Henry Wiley Reveley, 1836-38, on the present site of Council House. (A city and its setting by G. Seddon, p.214). In 1890 the Post Office moved across the road into the Old Barracks which were then rebuilt and later became part of what is now known as the Treasury Buildings. In 1923 the Post Office moved to Forrest Place.
