Lismore's old Post and Telegraph Office has a very beautiful and unusual clock and bell tower. Built in 1899 the NSW Heritage Register describes, "the most elegant feature of the building is the ornate Muntz metal clock tower with buttresses extending from the corners. It is crowned with an unusual filigree cast metal cupola with a finial and wind vane at its top."
Sadly the Post Office moved on in 1992 to a very non-descript building around the corner.

It sure is different with that filigree cover!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteA great post of this Clock tower. Lovely to this!
ReplyDeleteThe clock tower itself seems to follow medieval designs - with a twist! But the filigree round the bell tower is unique! Strange that these designs are unique in themselves yet seem to be separate dimensions of the building! Somehow they seem to have been created separately and not part of the whole building style! (Hope that makes sense!)
ReplyDeleteThe section over the clock seems to be made of the most delicate lace on blue satin.
ReplyDeleteClear blue skies ... a perfect foil for that wonderful old clock tower. The intricate ironwork on the bell-cage is quite beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is beautiful. What a wonderful piece of architecture.

Beautiful. The bell cover looks like lace against the blue sky.
ReplyDeleteThe filigree dome is certainly unusual.
