Broken Hill Post Office, Victorian-era post office in Broken Hill, Australia.
The two-story postal building on Argent Street features a prominent clock tower rising 86 feet high and displays Federation Free Style architecture.
The establishment of this postal service in 1886 followed the discovery of silver ore deposits, leading to rapid population growth in Broken Hill.
The structure represents the architectural preferences of colonial Australian civic buildings through its decorative elements and robust construction materials.
The ground floor contains retail spaces and postal services, while the upper level accommodates staff facilities and administrative offices.
The building combines the designs of two prominent architects: James Barnet created the main structure, while Walter Liberty Vernon added the telegraph office.
