Style and architecture - Wessels plass

Telegrafbygningen, literally the Telegraph Building, completed in the Baroque Revival style in 1924, stands shoulder to shoulder with the luxurious Art Deco department store  Steen og Strøm, dating back to 1930. 

Hovedpostkontoret is one of Kvadraturen’s landmark buildings. It is a monumental building, erected for a specific purpose. 

Old Kvadraturen was full of grand bank buildings. The old Centralbanken in Kirkegata is among the most impressive. 

At this intersection between Rådhusgata and Kirkegata, four different architectural stylistic periods come together — four buildings with completely different styles, very typical of Kvadraturen. 

Three bank buildings from three different architectural periods surround a square with continental flair.
