The Post Office is one of the earliest buildings in the town and is an important focal point in the life of Collie people. It is a typical example of early Post Office architecture.
The Post Office dates from 1898 the year the railway reached Collie and one year after the Town was declared. The construction is typical of Post Offices of the period. The walls are of red brick topped with a rendered string course at eaves level. A series of arches on the Throssell St facade are emphasised with white painted render as is the arch over the entry porch facing Pendleson St. The openings on the Pendleson st facade have shallow arched white rendered lintels and white rendered sills. The roof is of corrugated iron.
