The General Post Office (GPO) on O’Connell Street in Dublin has long been one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, both architecturally and historically. By 1926, the GPO had been rebuilt and restored following its central role in the 1916 Easter Rising, when it served as the headquarters for the leaders of the rebellion. In the years immediately following, including the early 1920s, the building and its surroundings reflected the broader changes in Dublin as the city recovered from the War of Independence and the Civil War. The GPO continued to function as a key hub for postal services and government communication, while its presence on O’Connell Street symbolized both civic resilience and national identity. During this period, the area around the GPO was a focal point of urban life, commerce, and public gatherings, making it not only a functional building but also a historic and cultural center of Dublin in the 1920s.
