The Chief Post Office Christchurch Chief Post Office, Cathedral Square, 1900 Christchurch Chief Post Office, Cathedral Square, 1900 The former Chief Post Office building is a significant landmark on one corner of Cathedral Square. It is still standing after the Christchurch earthquakes of 2010 and 2011, although its future is uncertain. This is a brief history of the building. A controversial start The proposal to build the Chief Post Office over 130 years ago started with a controversy about the site. Some wanted it to remain in Market Place (now Victoria Square) which was the site of the original Post Office. Other interests preferred the Cathedral site and an offer by the Canterbury Provincial Council to purchase it for 10,000 pounds was turned down by the diocesan authorities. Designed in the Italinate style The southwest corner of Cathedral Square was decided on and in 1875 plans were prepared by the Colonial Architect, William Henry Clayton, in an Italianate style and the contract was let to Daniel Reese for 14,521 pounds.
