An appealing mid-to-late nineteenth-century house, which retains much of its early form and character despite recent alterations to accommodate a new use as a post office. This well-proportioned townhouse retains most of its original features, including timber sash windows and a fine door surround, which is of artistic merit. This structure was built as part of a common project with the building to the west (15312006), which together having a strong architectural presence in the streetscape dominating the north end of Killucan village. This post office replaced an earlier post office (15312004) at Killucan, which was located a short distance to the west.
