The Haymarket Post Office, built in 1927 to the design of E. Henderson and George Okenshott, is of State significance as the only substantial post office built in the Inter-war period in the inner city area of Sydney. It is a fine example of the Interwar Free Classical style and is believed to be the only example of this style applied to a post office. The original postal hall survives, although without fittings, and is one of very few such surviving. The Post Office was designed with the intention of leasing parts of the upper storeys to tenants. There seems to initially have been difficulty finding tenants, but the Consulate General of the Republic of China occupied the second floor from 1932 until 1973 when Australia ended diplomatic relations with the Republic of China and supported the Chinese Communists.

The present building, situated on Marine Street, was allocated to the French Consulate General in 1956. The history of this plot of land is not recent.
For a time, it was used as an extension of an old cemetery (cimetiere des Francais), as shown in the 1748 plan of Pondicherry. In 1751, it was the property of a certain Pierre Adrien Cognet; then, it was purchased by the Fulgence de Bury family, who, in 1777, owned a house with garden and outbuildings, as mentioned in the Papier Terrier de la ville blanche de Pondichery. In 1840, the French government bought the house and, in 1843, constructed a first floor.
For a long time, Bury's house was known as Hotel de l'Ordonnateur, and then, according to administrative modifications, as Hotel du Chef de Service Administratif (1840-43), Hotel de l'Ordonnateur (middle 19th c.-1879), Hotel du Directeur de l'Interieur (1879-1898); finally, after a normalization of the various services, as Secretariats Generaux (1898-1954). This function lasted longer. According to the Pondicherry plan of 1945-1954), the Secretariat was still there just before Merger, though according to certain sources, it was called Hotel particulier du Procureur general. Inside the building there were the Bureaux des Finances et du Secretariat as well as the residences of their directors.
French Consulate General is the only diplomatic mission in town. This colonial building has changed over the years, and yet managed to retain some of its original 18th century charm. The consulate is open to French citizens.
