Statement of Significance
The place is representative of the postal service, communication and the development of Corrigin.
Physical Description
The PO is a brick construction with a hipped corrugated iron roof. The Walton Street frontage is symmetrical with a central section and three windows balanced between face brick pilasters on the face brick facade. Each side of the central section are entry bays with corner pillars and lower height roofs which are flat. Above the open bays and the central section are concrete rendered lintels. The central one has signwriting depicting the name Corrigin Post Office and the post code.
History
The first Post office was run by Jimmy Dougan at Coade's store. Later in Campbell Street the postmaster was Mr Chambers, and the office boy was Heawood Abe. This substantial building is a testimony to the development of Corrigin.
