Statement of Significance

The former Post Office was erected in 1883 by the Public Works Department; the architect in charge of the works was J .H. Manden. The former post office is a typical example of the Italianatepalazzo-style post offices erected by the Public Works Department in the 1870! s and 1880' s. Its fine quality construction and detailing also typify Public Works Design. Recent alterations have substantially altered the buildings original appearance.
