Federation style building of pleasant proportions of stone and brick quoins. Structurally sound
and in good to reasonable order with window hoods as later additions. An integral part of the
streetscape of the area.
York Post Office is a two-storey rough cut stone and brick structure with iron roof. The place is
significant as the oldest functioning post office location in Western Australia. The attached
residence is a demonstration of the status and particular way of life for postmasters and their
families that is in danger of being lost in Western Australia.
