The former Leederville Post Office was built in 1897, features a Marseilles pattern tiled roof and was constructed in the Federation Arts and Crafts style.
The post office was one of five built to service the needs of the
rapidly expanding inner city suburbs that sprang up in response
to the gold rush of the 1890s.
In 1999 the Post Office moved to a new site just around the corner (see WMHJET )
When the post office underwent renovations in 1999 for conversion to a cafe a time capsule was discovered. This had been buried in the foundations when the post office was first built. The original seal was by H.E. Wittenoom, then Minister for Post and Telegraphs.
In 1999 the Post Office moved to a new site just around the corner
In 1995 the post office was State Heritage listed.
