Statement of Significance

The Elsternwick post office recalls the stylistic freedom of the post Wardell years in the Public Works Department and is an intact and superior essay in the Elizabethan style, comparable with Kew and Queenscliff (facade defaced). It is a prominent building in the Elsternwick Commercial Centre and is associated with the adjoining Rifle Club and Park, demonstrating the public uses given to this land which had been reserved from sale for railway purposes
