Warwick Post Office, Heritage post office in Palmerin Street, Warwick, Australia.
Warwick Post Office is a two-story brick and sandstone building at the corner of Palmerin Street that features deep verandahs, arched loggias, and Tuscan and Ionic columns. The structure houses postal services on the ground level and was originally designed to accommodate residential quarters above.
The building was designed in 1898 by Queensland Government Architect Alfred Barton Brady to replace an earlier postal facility from 1884. This renewal reflected Warwick's growth as an important administrative and trading center during that period.
The building sits at a busy corner and displays Baroque Revival architectural features with curved arches and detailed sandstone work. Its prominent placement and elaborate design make it an easy landmark to find in the town center.
The post office offers mail services along with banking facilities and currency exchange, and functions as an Amazon collection point. Visitors can easily spot the building at its distinctive corner location on Palmerin Street with its characteristic columns and deep verandahs.
The building was originally planned with private residential quarters on the first floor while postal operations ran below, an unusual setup for public post offices of that era. This arrangement allowed the postmaster to live on site with his family and oversee operations directly.
