Zemunska pošta podignuta je 1896. godine po planovima koje je potpisao gradski inženjer Dragutin Кapus, a na mestu srušene poštanske zgrade iz XVIII veka.
Građevinske radove je izvodio građevinar Franja Jenč. Zgrada je dvotraktnog tipa sa hodnikom u sredini, razvijene dispozicije adekvatne sadržaju. Oblikovana je u stilu neorenesanse sa uticajem severnjačkog baroka primenjenog na krovnim dekorativnim elementima.
Bogatom plastikom i specifičnim programom izdvaja se od javnih građevina starog jezgra Zemuna. Upotreba različitih materijala, polihromne fasade i razuđena krovna plastika daju ovoj zgradi karakter reprezentativnog objekta. Enterijer zgrade je osavremenjen, ali je duh arhitekture istoricizma XIX veka sačuvan.
Adaptacija enterijera je izvršena je 1961. godine, a zatim krajem prošlog veka. Pošta predstavlja jednu od najznačajnijih javnih građevina koja dokumentuje istorijski i urbani karakter Starog jezgra Zemuna.

Cultural monument
Post Office building,
8, Glavna Street
The building was built in 1896, after the plans signed by Dragutin Kapus, city architect, on the plot where the old Post Office from the eighteenth century used to stand. The builder was Franja Jenč.
It is a two-wing building with a corridor in the middle, and a complex disposition of space to accommodate its function. It was designed in neo-renaissance style with influences of northern baroque applied to the roof decorative elements. With its rich plastic and specific programme it stands out among other public buildings in old downtown Zemun.
Owing to the use of different materials, to its polychromatic façade and a complex roof plastic this building is a representative architectural monument. The interior of the building has been modernized but the spirit of architectural nineteenth century historicism has been preserved.
The adaptation of the interior was done in 1961 and then at the end of the century. The Post Office building is one of the most important public buildings that document the historical and urban character of old downtown Zemun.
