Kempsey Post Office

The Kempsey Post Office stands as a two-story Victorian Italianate structure with a prominent corner clock tower and symmetrical brick facade with cream details.

Construction of the current post office building began in 1875 after multiple relocations between East and West Kempsey, with completion and occupation in March 1886.

The post office represents the evolution of communication services in New South Wales, from basic mail handling to the introduction of telephone exchanges in 1908.

Located at 3-5 Smith Street in Kempsey, the post office continues to serve the community while maintaining its status on both the Commonwealth and State Heritage registers.

A time ball once sat atop the clock tower to signal the arrival of steamers before being replaced with a flagstaff in the late 19th century.
