Built in 1909, probably to a design by J. Howard Pentland, this post office forms an integral part of O'Connor Square. It retains many original features with the limestone doorcase being particularly striking. Executed in ashlar limestone, the doorcase, forms a pleasing contrast to later addition of pebbledash to the walls, with the fine cast-iron lettering and spider web fanlight adding artistic interest.
