The General Post Office, 1875
Scope and Contents
265 x 215 mm. A front view of the Post Office, with three men standing on the balcony. The Post Office was rebuilt after the second great fire in Queen Street which destroyed a whole block of shops, and was completed on 28th October 1872. This picture was probably taken shortly after completion, as the building does not seem occupied or in use.
