New look brings back the old By JOHN MILLER
One of the three heritage buildings on the southern side of the middle block of Summer Street has just been given a facelift with a splendid new paint job. The Palmers Building, which provides a wonderful facade to the Centrepoint Arcade and creates an impressive heritage streetscape when combined with the Post Office and the Myer store, has been painted in heritage colours to replicate a previous look. The Australian Joint Stock Bank was first established to the east of the original single-storey Post Office in 1876 and the building has stood like a sentinel in a prime position ever since. The present Post Office was opened on February 10, 1880. The main photo shows the building in the mid 1970s while the smaller photo shows the building in 1900.
