General Post Office

Built in 1931, this building stands majestically with its imposing neo-classical style and impressive Corinthian columns. In contrast to its ornate faзade with semi-circular arches, ornamental columns capitals and friezes, the back of the building is plain and unadorned. Deep parapet walls of plain design hide the pitched root. A colonnaded portico serves as a corridor in front of the building. This building will soon be converted to the Sarawak Art Museum.
