As part of the centenary celebrations of the British era heritage structure
The main building is basically a load bearing structure having brick walls, steel columns, beams and ribs encased in lime concrete with a pitched roof in country tiles and battens. By contrast, the exterior has wide verandas, Tuscan columns, stone screens and a Roman arch topped by a pavilion of 12 columns supporting a clock tower.

Once the seat of the erstwhile Post Master General of Central Provinces and Berar, the GPO at Nagpur is considered to be the mother institution in the postal circle of Central Provinces. In 1965, this office came under the jurisprudence of the Post Master General of Maharashtra circle.

Besides enclosing a well-lit spacious garden, the complex houses a residential plot for the post master, a parcel hub, a postal store depot, a recreation club for the staff and a South Indian canteen.
