The Central Telegraph Office in Mumbai is one of the oldest monuments in Mumbai. Located on the Veer Nariman Road, Marine Lines in the olden days it was General Post Office.
Built in 1869, this heritage structure was designed in medieval Italian style by James Trubshawe.

The interesting features are wide bracketed eaves, the two towers with steeply pitched roofs, between which there is a portico like structure.
This place is close to other monuments Flora Fountain, High Court.
