The General Post Office in Martin Place, Sydney, New South Wales, is a Neoclassical landmark designed by James Barnet, with construction beginning in 1866 in two stages. Its northern façade, built of local Pyrmont sandstone, stretches 114 metres along Martin Place and has been described as the finest example of Victorian Italian Renaissance style in New South Wales. The building served as Australia Post's headquarters until its privatisation in 1996, and its façade remains largely unchanged and is listed on both the Commonwealth Heritage List and the New South Wales State Heritage Register.
