North Sydney Post Office - Victoria Cross, North Sydney - 6 May 2011
Extract from the Australia Post website:
"North Sydney Post Office is situated in a prominent triangular site known as Victoria Cross, within the busy CBD of North Sydney. As part of a complex of buildings containing the Court House and Police Station, the building is a landmark feature within the surrounding streetscape.
his complex is an important civic conservation group of late Victorian buildings which define the centre of North Sydney.
The Post Office is a two storey Victorian Free Classical rendered brick building painted cream and tan, with classically styled detailing and reddish brown trim. Detailing comprises moulded string courses, imitation blockwork, central pediment, arched windows, columns to the bell room and arched bays to the adjacent building. The four-and-a-half-storey corner clock tower has a domed zinc roof with small dormers and a finial at the apex over an open sided bell room. The main roof consists of complex hipped, skillion slate and corrugated steel with four rendered and moulded chimneys which can be seen to punctuate the roof line behind the moulded parapet that extends along both street facades.
"The first post office in North Sydney was opened on 1 May 1854, trading under the name of St Leonards, the official name for the area until 1890. Mr G H Stevens was appointed first postmaster in 1854 with an annual salary of ?12, retiring in 1870 due to deteriorating health. The St Leonards post office serviced a large area of the lower North Shore, and by 1874 it was recommended that a 'Branch' post and telegraph office be established at North Shore, upgrading the current office to an official post office with telegraph facilities.
In April 1880 a conference was held between the four interested municipalities to discuss the location for the Post Office. It was decided that the site of the local Watch House was the most appropriate plus a portion of Government land adjoining it, which had been promised to the St Leonards Council as a site for the Town Hall. It was also recommended that the watch house be moved to the Post Office Site.
Three buildings were constructed on the site between 1886, which is the date for the Court House, and 1889 when construction of the Post Office was finished. The post office was ready for occupation on 31 January 1889, with the cost of the Post Office section being ?4500. A clock was installed over the front entrance to the Office, later being transferred into a new tower. The clock tower was built over the entrance in 1895 at a cost of ?965, with the clock being installed in July 1900. Circular stairs were also installed to the front of the office during this time."
