At the corner of Wellington and Clarence, the colonial government built the Post Office in the late 1850s. It sits across Wellington Street from the current main station whose 1950s glass and steel lines will be featured soon.

Kingston Post Office, 1856-59.

It is still in use and features a sweet little walled garden maintained in the federal style, gated at Clarence street against the presence of the public who have a slightly bigger neighbouring park from which, one presumes, the lush pagent of postal management having tea in a bureaucratic parade can be viewed mid-afternoon weekdays.

Notice how they only had eight roof urns built and stuck them on the streetside despite the near wrap-around views.
