General Post Office, Adelaide Review

A symbol of the times, the first time I came to the city, the corner of King William Street and Franklin Street was the Adelaide Post Office or I was deeply impressed. Across the street from this magnificent historical building is Victoria Square. The design of the iconic post office of the times was the result of the 1866 competition, and the building was built in 1872. The building is decorated with bathed limestone and the grand old building has two floors with a huge hall on one floor. The building also features a bell tower called Victoria Tower, which is replicated from the bells of Westminster Abbey. With its Victoria Tower, the General Post Office was Adelaide's tallest building until the early 20th century. The interior is still the post office, probably one of the oldest post offices around. Traditional mail has largely disappeared from view due to the rapid development of the Internet in recent years. Indeed, most of us don’t remember the time we wrote last time. When I came here, I saw the wonderful interior of the Victorian era and felt the history scene reappeared in an instant. Tips: 1. You can easily reach it by tram 2. You can buy stationery, books and souvenirs in the post office
