Designed in 1873 in a mid – Victorian Baroque style by James Williams, the Architect
to Her Majesty’s Office of Works, this four storey building has a classical facade which
gives the appearance of an eloquent two storey structure. Incorporating a mixture of
classical Doric columns and Pilasters at ground floor level which are extended through
the first floor, a similar aesthetic is applied to the upper two floors using classical
Corinthian pilasters.

 

The building is now been renovated as a mixed use development
incorporating a public house in the former post office hall, with offices and flats on the
upper floors.
