PS. SEND ME A post
The building was originally the home of the Palestine Post, Telegraph & Telephone, the Jerusalem central telephone exchange and the city’s post office and serves as the central post office until this day. Its exterior is an expression of its history, with influences from various periods and cultures, including seven arches along the main entrance, five of which were originally openings for selling postage stamps. English, Hebrew and Arabic writing can be found along them, indicating the fusion of cultures and religions of this special place.
Architecture
IT WAS BY DESIGN
The construction process for THE POST considered the historical and architectural importance of this building, gently peeling back layers of history. The delicate process revealed the original walls, floors and ceilings of this unique landmark, bringing history to life and enhancing the connection between past, present and future.
