Melbourne's GPO
Melbourne's GPO is a shopping arcade situated inside the former Victorian-era Melbourne General Post Office (GPO) building located on the corner of Elizabeth and Bourke Street in the centre of Melbourne's Central Business District.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sydney-australia.biz/victoria/melbourne/places/melbourne-australia-gpo.php )〕 It is currently listed on Australia's Victorian Heritage Register.〔(Heritage Victoria ), retrieved 29 April 2012〕 The former purpose-built post office building was redeveloped for retail by adaptive reuse in 2004.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=General Post Office: 350 Bourke Street, MELBOURNE )〕
(Note that the current Melbourne General Post Office is no longer in this building but a short distance away at the corner of Lonsdale & Elizabeth Sts.)
The architectural style of the building is Classical with French Second Empire influences and was designed in the Victorian period by architect A.E. Johnson.〔 Its historical significance is also due to incorporating distinct sections built over a period of 48 years between 1859 and 1907, and multilayered architecture, as a result of the four floors being constructed at different times.〔 A distinctive architectural element is the clock tower which dominates the intersection of the two streets.〔 Its location is still used as a point of reference for the measure of distances from the centre of Melbourne.〔
== Description ==
The building occupies the north-eastern corner of the Elizabeth and Bourke Street intersection. The design expresses the classical architecture because of its use of Doric columns in the first level which was constructed between 1859-67.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nattrust.com.au/trust_register/search_the_register/general_post_office )〕 The second level consists of Ionic columns and the third level incorporates Corinthian columns.〔 The building’s physical appearance is strongly recognisable for its selection of Doric, Ionic and Corinthian layering of levels. The interior of the post office is expressive of the past as the postal hall was used functionally business intended for sorting mail.〔 The façade is made from stone.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.onlymelbourne.com.au/melbourne_details.php?id=3171 )〕 The objective of its late 20th century remodelling was to revitalise the heritage listed building by linking its shops to public spaces and pathways, and providing access to parts of the building previously not open to the public.
