1929 – 1931


The postal building at a rounded corner has been designed by the architect as a symmetrical building with the entrance in the middle of the bend. Parcel service is situated on the ground floor, the rest of the services are on the floor above. The operation of the two halls with customer bays is designed in very unusual manner: the staircase for patrons is located at the rear while the service spaces had been placed near the front facade. However, the visitor has a smooth and harmonious impression of the interior. Original equipment has been partially preserved inside the post office.
