Kota Post Office

The building was designed in an early modern style known as Nieuwe Zakelijkheid which was popular in the Netherlands and became popular in the Dutch East Indies by the end of 1920s.

The style was slightly conformed to the tropical climate of Indonesia with the addition of 'double facade' concept, a typical element of tropical Indische architecture.

Buildings within the vicinity of Kota Post Office designed in a similar style include Bank Mandiri Museum (1929).

[1] The building currently houses a contemporary art gallery.
