General Post Office, Adelaide

The General Post Office stands with white stone columns and symmetrical facades, representing a central landmark in Adelaide's architectural heritage.

Construction of this grand postal facility began in 1872, marking a significant development in South Australia's communication infrastructure during the colonial period.

The building represents a period when postal services formed the primary means of communication, connecting Adelaide's residents with the rest of Australia.

Located near Victoria Square, this operational post office continues to provide postal services while maintaining its original architectural features.

This facility remains one of Australia's few colonial-era post offices that still functions as a postal service, rather than converting to retail spaces.
