Maitland Post Office

The two-story stuccoed brick building features a prominent corner clock tower, round arched loggia, and cast iron columns supporting a balcony at street level.

Built in 1881 under Colonial Architect James Barnet, this post office replaced an earlier structure at Bourke Street corner due to flooding concerns.

The building exemplifies the architectural style used across New South Wales postal facilities, representing the development of communication systems in colonial Australia.

Located at 381 High Street near a main intersection, the post office continues to provide mail services while maintaining its original exterior features.

The structure spans 0.145 hectares and includes detailed elements such as grooved mock ashlar jointing and deeply molded string courses dividing the facade.
