Hay Post Office, Heritage post office in Hay, Australia

The Hay Post Office features Victorian Italianate architecture with a three-story clock tower and rendered facade facing Lachlan Street in New South Wales.

Established in 1859 with Robert Neilson as first postmaster, the current building was completed in 1882 following designs by James Barnet of Colonial Architect's Office.

The building represents the development of postal and telegraph services in rural Australia, connecting remote communities during the nineteenth century expansion.

Located at 120 Lachlan Street, the two-story structure contains retail spaces, mailroom facilities, offices, and staff areas across its multiple levels.

The English bond brick construction includes detailed chimneys and an archway-syncopated facade, with a clock installation added in 1890.
