Newcastle Post Office, Heritage post office in Newcastle, Australia
The Newcastle Post Office features sandstone walls, domed roofing, and a symmetrical facade that extends across its Hunter Street location.
Built between 1900 and 1903 under architect Walter Liberty Vernon, this structure replaced the first Newcastle Post Office from 1828.
The building represents early 20th century Federation Academic Classical architecture through its design elements and construction methods.
The central location in Newcastle provides residents and visitors access to postal services during regular business hours.
Seismic activity in the region has caused minor structural changes to the building, requiring specific preservation techniques.
