PASCOE VALE SOUTH POST OFFICE - Physical Description 1
The late 1950s Pascoe Vale South Post Office, at 372-380 Bell Street Pascoe Vale South, is an understated low dark brick single storey building with a low pitched gabled roof in a style sometimes known as Melbourne Regional. The south facade presents the gable end to Bell Street and features a wall of glazing, with regularly spaced timber mullions, into the gable end and to two-thirds of the elevation. The remaining third, the south-west corner, is constructed from brick. The lower part of the window, under the gable line, has been painted with advertising. The west elevation, to Lansdowne Street, has a number of rhythmically articulated brick piers with pebble-crete walls and (steel-framed?) windows in the walls between. The words PASCOE VALE SOUTH POST OFFICE are spelt out in white typically 1950s simple stylised capitals on the front (south) facade.
