Clock Tower Of GPO Building - Melbourne @ Australia


Clock Tower Of GPO Building - Melbourne @ Australia

The picture shown is the beautiful huge clock tower of the GPO (Melbourne General Post Office) building in Melbourne Australia. Obviously it is a landmark building in Melbourne. It is located on the corner of the Elizabeth Street and Bourke Street in Melbourne City itself.

The building was designed in neo-Renaissance style. It ceased to function as an office of Australia in 2001 and was closed as a public facility after developers won the rights to develop it as a retail complex. opened for trade as a retail centre in October 2004.

The GPO Building re-opened for business as a new upmarket retail centre in 2005 after it was almost gutted by fire in September 2001.
