Inverell Post Office, Historical post office in Inverell, New South Wales.
Inverell Post Office is an administrative building located on Otho Street in Inverell. The structure features cream-coloured roughcast render, sandstone arches, and a complex hipped roof with corrugated steel panels that reflect the functional design standards of its period.
Postal services in Inverell began in 1855 from a private store. A purpose-built structure replaced this arrangement in 1904 and became the region's official administrative centre for postal operations.
The building displays Federation Arts and Crafts features typical of Australian public structures from the early 1900s. This style reflects the value placed on craftsmanship and local materials in the administrative architecture of that era.
The building is located on a prominent lot and is easily accessible on foot from the town centre. Visitors should note that this is an active administrative building, so standard business hours apply to access.
The building was designed by the New South Wales Government Architect's Office under Walter Liberty Vernon. Its design combined functional requirements with crafted details that set it apart from ordinary administrative structures.
