The Old Wan Chai Post Office is the oldest surviving post office
building in Hong Kong. This L-shaped building situated at the junction
of Wan Chai Gap Road (灣仔峽道) and Queen's Road East (皇后大道東), was erected between 1912 and
1913, and opened on 1 March 1915 as the Wan Chai Post Office. It is a
simple pitched-roof structure with attractive gable ends and mouldings.
The building is now operated by the Environmental Protection Department
as a resource centre, from 1993 onwards.
