Medan Post Office, Colonial post office in downtown Medan, Indonesia
The white and orange building features geometric art deco architecture with high arched windows and prominent columns supporting its characteristic dome structure.
Designed by Dutch architect S. Snuyf from Burgelijke Openbare Werken, the post office opened in 1911 during the administration of Resident J. Ballot.
The building incorporates dove carvings and postal symbols throughout its design, reflecting its function as a communication center in early 20th century Medan.
The facility continues to operate as both a post office and a creative hub called Pos Bloc Medan, housing various small businesses and cultural activities.
A decorative fountain stands in front of the building as a memorial to Jacob Nienhuys, who established the first tobacco plantations in the region.
