Melbourne GPO
from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melbourne%27s_GPO
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.
