Scope and Content Former Post Office, High Street, Inverness, Highland Inverness expanded rapidly in the 19th century following construction of the Caledonian Canal (begun in 1804) and connection to the rail network (1855). Its main industries at that period were ship-building, iron founding and saw-milling. The former Post Office on the High Street was built in 1841-4 in a simple Classical style. Mathematically defined architectural styles or Orders used by the Ancient Greeks and Romans during the Classical period were rediscovered by Renaissance architects and remained fashionable until the 20th century.
