Albury Post Office
Albury Post Office is a heritage-listed post office at 570 Dean Street, Albury, in the Riverina region of New South Wales, Australia. It was designed by NSW Colonial Architects Office under James Barnet and built in 1880. The property is owned by Australia Post. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 17 December 1999. On 8 November 2011 the building was listed on the Commonwealth Heritage List; and is listed on the (now defunct) Register of the National Estate since 21 March 1978.
An electric telegraph station was erected at Albury in 1860. In 1878 the original part of the present building was constructed on the same site as the telegraph station. In 1904 the Post Office was amalgamated with the original telegraph office through substantial extensions along Kiewa Street. The clocktower was added in the 1920s.
A substantial Victorian Free Classical post office with an overall Palazzo form. The building is of two stories, constructed of stuccoed brick with moulded decoration. The ground level consists of colonnade archwork and the first floor of segmental arch window openings with exaggerated keystones, separated by pilasters. A truncated clock tower with cupola was added in the 1920s on the corner and designed similarly in the Free Classical style.
It was reported to be in good physical condition as at 1 July 1999.
The building has been substantially extended along Kiewa Street and the original loggia filled in and a clocktower added. The major additions respect the original design.
As at 1 December 1999, an imposing country post office in the Victorian Free Classical style with civic architectural qualities that make a significant contribution to the historic Dean Street precinct. The landmark qualities of this prominent building make it a suitable "entrance" to the civic precinct and significant to the Albury community's sense of place.
The building is associated with the NSW Colonial Architect's Office under James Barnet and it is part of an important group of post offices by Barnet.
Albury Post Office was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 17 December 1999 having satisfied the following criteria.
