General Post Office, clock tower

The clock tower of the General Post Office (GPO) building, located at 1 Martin Place between George Street and Pitt Street. The GPO was constructed in stages from 1866-91, designed by colonial architect James Barnet in the Victorian Free Classical style. The clock tower dominated the city skyline when it was built but these days it is dwarfed by many nearby skyscrapers. In 1999, the GPO was redeveloped as part of the the Westin Hotel and  Macquarie Bank office building behind it.
