The main building frontage addresses Elizabeth Street to the east with the entry steps splayed either side of an arched opening flanked by two brick piers and a "scooped" brickwork wall. The building sits on rough-cut rusticated stone base with brick entry piers and walling above that. The entry piers are smooth rendered to the street with exposed brick reveals. A plate stone courseline runs around the building, topped by a continuous drip moulding. Above this, on the entrance side, is compressed entry arch with three accentuated voussoirs and a plain architrave supported on two ionic colonnettes. It has a curved drip moulding that repeats the lower course line profile and returns to the side front walls, terminating in the form of a coil. Two narrow windows are placed on either side of the entry porch, framed with smooth-dressed stone quoining. The panel above the arch contains the words "POST OFFICE" in flexed lettering and that is framed with a moulded cornice that turns upward to a point at the centre in two curved sections. Above that is a set of five stuccoed piers, all square in plan, with single-course brick mortarboard toppings, bracketed by a single brick on each side.
