Albany Post Office, Post office and heritage site in Albany, Western Australia
The Albany Post Office is a historic postal facility in Western Australia housed in a colonial-style building dating from the 19th century. The structure displays the architectural standards and design features typical of post offices from that era.
The post office opened in 1869 and quickly became a vital communication hub for early settlers in the region. Its establishment marked a turning point for connecting Albany to the wider colony.
The building reflects how government services took root in a growing settlement and how postal service connected isolated communities. You can see in the architecture today how central this place was to the region's early development.
The facility is open during standard business hours on weekdays and offers mail and parcel services for postal needs. Its central location in town makes it easy to find, and the building is clearly visible even for those just passing by.
The building continues to operate as an active post office while holding protected heritage status, a rare combination of daily function and historic preservation. Few other public buildings in the region maintain this blend of ongoing service and monument protection.
