Townsville Post Office, Heritage-listed postal building in Flinders Street, Townsville, Australia.

The two-story brick structure features Renaissance elements with a loggia, verandah, and a prominent clock tower at its corner location.

Colonial Architect J J Clark designed this building, which was constructed in stages from 1886 to 1889 at a total cost of 14,172 pounds.

The post office served as a central meeting point for the community, with political speakers addressing crowds from its steps throughout its history.

The building at 252-270 Flinders Street now functions as the Townsville Brewery, offering on-site brewing facilities and dining services.

During World War II, the original clock tower was dismantled due to bombing concerns, and its mechanism remained in storage until 1963.
