Statement of Significance

The first Yarra Junction Post Office and Dwelling have high level significance as rare surviving inter-war and earlier Post Office buildings, which may be the earliest such buildings in Yarra Ranges Shire. A popular meeting place for at least a century, the old Post Office had associations with the Paul family, district pioneers, and Cumming Smith and Co., a firm which successfully extracted chemicals from wood from 1907 to 1922, The Yarra Junction Post Office and Dwelling are important township buildings and local landmarks.
