MIRBOO NORTH POST OFFICE - Physical Description 1
The Post Office at 100 Ridgeway Mirboo North is a weatherboard transverse gable building with a projecting gable to the front and with the main roof extended down to form an entrance porch. The gables have paired louvred vents at their peak, but no other decoration. The front gable window, presumably similar to that at the side (a set of casements) has been replaced with a new simpler window. The low porch roof is supported by widely spaced pairs of timber posts standing on a weatherboard balustrade dado and with an arched ladder frame valance at the front. The building has its original entry doors and an early counter and desk. The residence at the rear is below wider gabled roof, projecting beyond the end of the main building at the north.
