Post Office Arcade (former Post Office Hotel), 88 Main Street, STAWELL - Physical Description 1
The Post Office Arcade building at the corner of Wimmera and Main Streets, Stawell, contributes to the architectural and visual amenity of the predominantly Victorian and interwar streetscape.
The asymmetrical, two storey, painted brick, Victorian styled Post Office Arcade building is characterised by a rectangular form having a chamfered corner and a projecting dentillated stringcourse above which is a low parapet that terminates into a balustraded parapet with flanking scrollwork at the corner. The central arched opening on the Main Street facade has been introduced, replacing an earlier door opening, and the shopfront windows on this facade have also been introduced. The corner window represents new work, replacing an earlier doorway, but the single windows on the Wimmera Street elevation appear to be early.
The rear two storey hipped wing with regular bays of single window openings is early. It has a painted galvanised corrugated iron and painted brick wall construction. The rear brick wall with arched opening and first floor weatherboard wall cladding with a chamfered corner, skillion projecting and glazed area represent later work.
