The Post CS building, sometimes called the Stationspostgebouw, was officially opened on the Oosterdokseiland in 1968. The building was about 50 meters high and replaced, among other things, the old parcel post building from 1922, which could no longer cope with the increased volume of mail. At the beginning of the 21st century, a large part of the huge complex was demolished to make room for new buildings as part of the development of the Oosterdokseiland. After the PTT disposed of part of the building in 2004, the still existing high building was used for cultural events. For four and a half years, until the end of 2008, even the well-known Stedelijk Museum had a branch in a remaining part of the building complex. The last part of the building was demolished in 2009.
