Burwood Post Office, Heritage-listed postal building in Burwood, Australia

The former post office at 168a Burwood Road exhibits Italian Romanesque Revival architecture with sandstone motifs, arched openings, and terracotta-tiled roofing.

The building, designed by Walter Liberty Vernon and George Oakeshott, opened in 1892 and received state heritage designation in May 2001.

The structure replaced an earlier postal station at the railway station from 1869, marking the evolution of communication services in suburban Sydney.

The building features a clock tower added in 1901, which continues to serve as a reference point for residents and visitors in the Burwood area.

The massive arched entrance pathway leading to posting boxes represents a shift from neo-Classical designs toward more varied architectural expressions.
