Botany Post Office, Heritage post office in Botany, Australia

The Botany Post Office stands at the corner of Banksia Street and Nilsson Lane with a terracotta roof and cement rendered walls spanning two stories.

The postal facility opened in 1881 and moved to its current location between 1917 and 1923, marking a period of commercial expansion along Botany Road.

The building represents an early example of Commonwealth Government architecture in New South Wales, featuring Neo-Georgian and Colonial Revival design elements.

Located 50 meters east of Botany Road, the post office maintains active postal services for the local community through its porch entries on both sides.

In May 1939, thieves used gelignite to break into the strongroom and stole valuables worth £260, marking a notable event in the building's history.
