Collingwood Post Office is a landmark
Construction DetailsBuilt: 1891 - 1892
Original use: 6
Current use:
Built in the Victotian period in the 17 style
Notable featuresThe former post office facade, which comprises a deep recessed loggia
with central mansardesque tower is a well designed example of the
Victorian mannerist style. The facade arranges conventional tectonic
elements in an unusual and playful manner. It is during the late
nineteenth centrury. The addition of 1892 is also an early example of accadism; the balance
of the building, to the rear of the facade is of relatively less
significance.
