The General Post Office building in St Martins-le-Grand in the City of London (1825–29; demolished c. 1912).
This was England's first purpose built post office.
Its main facade had a central hexastyle Greek Ionic portico with pediment, and two tetrastyle porticoes, without pediments, at each end.
The main interior space was the large letter-carriers room, with an elegant iron gallery and a spiral staircase.
