On the right the imposing general Post Office building which still stands today although no longer the post Office. On the left just out of view to the front of the tram was the entrance to Wellington Station whilst looking ahead is Wellington Street further down which was Central Station.
Given that the postcard was printed in Germany we can assume it is pre the First World War.

The Post Office, Commercial Street, Halifax - MCH00201
Commercial Street, Halifax, Post Office, Street Names, Tram
Listed building status: Grade II
Halifax Post office on Commercial Street, was opened 23 Sep 1887.
From: Leeds Times 19 March 1887:
Halifax has achieved what Leeds has not accomplished. The inhabitants have got a new Post Office erected, at a cost of £10,000, from designs by Mr. H. Tanner, architect to the Government Board of Works. The plans have been carried out satisfactorily by Messrs. Armitage and Hodgson, Leeds, and the new place will shortly be opened for business. It is a great improvement on the old and dingy premises in George Street. The new Post Office is built of stone, in the Early English style, and the site in Commercial-street is as central and convenient as the structure is handsome and appropriate. The facade is 108 feet in length, and there are three gables, the projection of the central part relieving the building of monotony, while graceful columns at the angles, a fleche tower in the centre, and a campanile tower on the north, impart a pleasing picturesqueness of outline. The Halifax postal district covers a large area, the commercial importance of which is great and growing, and there was a necessity for making ample provision for present and prospective requirements. This idea has been subordinated in the internal arrangements, and utility and general aptitude for the quick despatch of business have had careful attention. In each of the departments the latest and most approved plans have been adopted. Halifax may be congratulated on this useful acquisition to its postal service.
Sadly the Post Office moved out of this iconic building in September 2016, the service moving to W.H. Smiths.
