The new building of the
Main Post Office opened in 1984 on Shahrisabz Street, formerly Pervomayskaya.
Architects — G. Alexandrovich and G. Gutkina; engineers — S. Berkovich, Yu.
Kalinin, and O. Balunova; artists — R. Nemirovsky and R. Mukhamedkhanov.
The massive and solid
building, erected on an elevation, is neatly fitted between nine-story
buildings on both sides and continues the row started by TSUM and the Palace of
Aircraft Builders with its layout.
The postal dispatch hall is
located in the center of a conditional square, with communication-related organizations
placed along its perimeter across four floors. The hall’s ceiling is made of
transparent structures, providing soft natural lighting during the day.
The facade is decorated
with white sun-protection elements and a large panel with a relief depicting
the Solar System. The building has side entrances; on the right, a protruding
elevator shaft stands out. On the rear side, facing the Alay Bazaar, there is a
national cuisine café.
In 2012–2013, the building
underwent reconstruction with changes to its exterior: the facade was clad in
white aluсobond and
blue glass. However, the main hall remained untouched—its artistic decoration with
ceramic figures was preserved.
