Summary edit

Description
English: General Post Office 1863-1881 Featherston Street, Wellington (or is it on Post Office Square - Customhouse Quay?)
In the report issued on the 30th June, 1863, the following reference appears: "At Wellington a new post-office has been very recently erected by the Provincial Government. It stands on the land lately reclaimed from the sea near Lambton Quay; it is centrally situated, and from its proximity to the new deep-water wharf and Customs House it affords every facility for the landing and shipment of mails. The building is of wood; it is conveniently arranged, and affords all the accommodation that will be required for several years. It contrasts strongly with the collection of small, low, ill-ventilated rooms called post-offices elsewhere." Source
