The Royal Mail

Kongl.Post
The entrance to the former Central Post Office at Vasagatan in Stockholm. The building was designed by the famous architect Ferdinand Boberg, just over a century ago. He took some inspiration from Vadstena castle. I had a few weeks of work experience practice in this building when I was 15 years old. It was mostly boring paper work, but I did enjoy riding the Pater Noster elevator. Today this is a government building.

There's lots to see in the engravings. They just don't make building like that anymore.

So there really is another entrance there. Yes times are always changing.

This is an incredible facade. Can't believe this is actually post office.
