1977Copy of a colour photograph of the Toodyay Post Office building.
On left, a metal frame glass panel, telephone box, notice board on the edge of footpath.
Large tree at front. Land on the right side of building is grassed, and partially fenced with white posts.
Two cars parked on roadside. One parked in front of Memorial Hall. One car on footpath with raised bonnet.
Building is two storey, living quarters on top floor.
The Toodyay Post Office and residence is located in Toodyay, Western Australia on the corner of Stirling Terrace and Duke Street North.
It was designed by colonial architect George Temple-Poole and was part of a scheme by the Public Works Department. Over 100 post offices were built to a standard design during the late 1890s; the Toodyay Post Office is one of the few remaining examples.
Postal services began in Toodyay in 1842. As at 2019, the building is no longer used for postal services which are provided from a new location on Piesse Street.
