MARSHALL'S POST OFFICE (FORMER) - Physical Description 1
The former Marshall's Store remains, in part, today as a private residence. The house is a gableroofed timber building, with the ridge-line parallel to Jumping Creek Road. The store facade to Jumping Creek Road, shown in 'Discover Wonga Park' (Place No. 14), has been removed or altered. It appears to have been a skillion section with a parapet wall. Other additions appear to include a verandah and front fence. The garage, set on stone foundations, appears to be a relic from an earlier time.
