Walking down Bay Street, near the corner of Rouse St, you will note the 1912 Naval Drill Hall next to the original Sandridge Post Office and Mail Exchange designed by colonial architect J.J. Clark. Built in 1860, it was one of the busiest mail exchanges in the colony. After the town centre and Post Office had shifted northward, the Navy occupied both buildings until 1992. On the opposite corners are the original Exchange Hotel, and, across Rouse St the site of the former St. Joseph’s primary school 1906-1963.
