Former Harvey Post Office & Exchange 1957

This imposing two-storey structure built in 1957 was once a focal point in Harvey, operating as Harvey’s fifth post office for 39 years.

The building featured three pink terrazzo-tiled pillars and pink-tiled columns between the lower north windows. The front protruding section featured a full-length two-storey window.

A telephone exchange was located on the upstairs floor of the building.

There were also three built-in wall phone boxes for residents who did not have a home phone.
