Old Boksburg Post Office - Boksburg, Johannesburg

The Old Boksburg Post Office, located in Boksburg, Johannesburg, is a historic building with significant architectural and cultural value. Established in the early 20th century, this post office played a crucial role in the development of Boksburg, a town that emerged as a key settlement in the East Rand area of Johannesburg due to its proximity to gold mining operations.

Designed by Sytze Wierda in 1898, it took almost 7 years for the actual post office building to be constructed. Only the postmasters house had been constructed by 1899 and this was used until the post office was completed in 1905. This post office was used for the next 60 years and closed its doors in 1965. It took a further 31 years until the building was declared a national monument in August 1996. Other buildings which were designed by Sytze Wierda were the Old Law Courts in Church Street.

In recent years, the Old Boksburg Post Office has been preserved as a historical landmark and has been repurposed for various uses, including housing local government offices or cultural exhibits. Its preservation highlights the community's commitment to maintaining and celebrating its historical heritage, and the building remains an important symbol of Boksburg's rich past.
