Summary
| Description |
English: The former Government Press Buildings is a colonial-era landmark in Yangon, Myanmar (formerly Rangoon, Burma), designated in the Yangon City Heritage List. The building complex is located on the northwest corner of the Secretariat on Theinbyu Road.
The low-rise brick complex was designed by Scottish architect John Begg, and built between 1909 and 1912. The complex's main facade features an elegant entrance with Greek columns. During the colonial era, the building was the official distribution center and printing factory for official government publications, including gazettes, journals, news, and textbooks. In the post-colonial era, it became the publishing arm of the Ministry of Information's Government Printing and Stationary Department, employing over 1,300 staff. |
