Toowoomba Post Office, Heritage postal building in Margaret Street, Toowoomba, Australia.
The Toowoomba Post Office features a central clock tower with four faces and symmetrically arranged sandstone facade sourced from local Highfields quarries.
The postal service began in 1845 with pack-horse mail routes from Brisbane to Drayton, leading to the construction of this building between 1878 and 1880.
The structure represents one of three remaining Classic Revival Style post offices in Queensland, designed by architect Francis Drummond Greville Stanley.
The building at 136 Margaret Street now houses various businesses after Australia Post relocated its operations from this location in 1999.
In 1960, this post office became the first location in Australia to install a cross-bar automatic telephone system.
