Description

The Post Office on High Street in Crieff, built in 1906, is a two-storey, five-bay building designed in the Tudor Collegiate style. It features an irregular terrace that extends to the west, with an arcaded ground floor. The building has a raised base course, moulded dividing courses, an eaves cornice, and a deep parapet. There are polygonal angle buttresses, stone mullions, and chamfered reveals.

On the north elevation facing High Street, there is a bay to the left of center with steps leading up to a doorpiece that has a deeply-moulded round-headed doorcase, stylised pilasters, a cornice, and a decorative keystone. The entrance features a two-leaf panelled timber door with decorative ironwork above in the timbered fanlight. To the right, there is an arcade of three tripartite windows, with the outermost window featuring a metal posting box. The outer left bay has a bipartite window above a metal stamp dispensing machine. Above, a moulded course and a first-floor cill course create a broad plain band, leading to a ribbon window effect on the first floor with three tripartite windows and vertical dividing bands. The penultimate bay to the left breaks the banding with narrow stylised pilasters flanking the corbelled base of a bowed bay, which features a relief-carved 'POST OFFICE' on the dividing band, with two windows on either side of the vertical band and another bipartite window on the outer left. The parapet has two semicircular steps to the right and a bowed bay with armorial bearings in a niche flanked by 'E' and 'R'.

The east elevation is gabled, with a single window at ground level and two smaller windows to the left on the first floor, along with a corbelled chimney breast at the center. The outer left angle features a corbelled buttress at the first floor, over a rounded ground floor angle with a pal-stone.

The south elevation, or rear, is asymmetrically fenestrated, showcasing a variety of elements including a single-storey projection to the left and steps leading up to a small stone porch on the right.

The windows throughout the building are timber sash and case with a 4-pane over plate glass glazing pattern, and top-opening windows. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks with some cans, as well as ashlar-coped skews.

Inside, there is a two-leaf round-headed screen door with a small-pane fanlight, a timber-panelled counter, a compartmentalised ceiling, and stylised plasterwork corbels.
