MIRBOO NORTH POST OFFICE

The Mirboo Post Office, at 100 Ridgway, Mirboo North, constructed in 1915, is significant. The Federation Post Office was constructed by the Public Works Department as a transverse weatherboard gable building with a front projecting gable. The main roof extends at the rear and front to form the entry porch, which is supported by widely spaced pairs of timber posts and a weatherboard balustrade dado. The projecting gable includes a painted louvred vent at its peak, and a simplified casement window that is similar to the side windows. The entry porch contains an arched frame valance and there is a secondary projecting gable at the rear of the building. Other features of the building include an original entry door, early counter and desk on the interior. 
Non-original alterations and additions are not significant.
