Statement of Significance
The Trayning Post Office has considerable historic and social significance for its important role in communications within and without the district. The place has further significance given its continued use as a Post Office. The place is representative of post offices in country towns built in the same period, given its scale, construction materials, and corner location. The Post Office building makes an important contribution to the built environment of Trayning.
Physical Description
The Post Office building is of brick construction laid in a stretcher pattern. The place has a hipped corrugated iron roof with a separate scallion roof to the entry porch which is located to the south east corner of the building. The entry porch features three narrow slit windows above which is a white rendered band extending around the entirety of the porch. Other windows are timber framed and double hung with six small panes to the top section. A skillion roof extends to cover the quarters at the rear of the building. There are air vents to the roof.
History
The Trayning Post Office was built in 1927 and contained a single post master's residence. The Post Office is still in use but privately owned and operated. (Don Couper)
