Description
The Post Office is a mid-19th century commercial building designed in the late Georgian style. It features four bays and three storeys, topped with a slate gabled roof and a stuccoed chimney on the right. The building has deep bracketed eaves and a lined painted stucco facade, which includes a raised plinth and long and short quoins on both sides.
The upper floor windows and the left ground floor window are 12-pane hornless sashes with moulded surrounds and keystones, with the windows on the second floor being smaller. The central shop window, added in the mid-20th century, is flanked on the left by a six-panel house door and on the right by a similar door for the post office, both featuring large square overlights with marginal glazing. The doors and the central window have plain stucco surrounds, and the window and overlights have mid-20th century metal glazing. A bracket lamp is present, which does not appear in a photograph from around 1895.
The left and right returns of the building are also stuccoed. The ground floor interior is completely covered over, but there is an inner porch with earlier 20th-century glazing and one iron column in front of the window.
