The timber Leongatha Post Office, constructed in 1906-7, has a hipped and gabled corrugated iron roof. The redbrick entry porch is prominent to the street corner, and its stucco gable houses an Art Nouveau stylised inscription: ‘Post & Telegraph Office’. Underneath, the porch has redbrick piers and balustrades (originally tuck-pointed), moulded timber posts, tessellated floor tiles and bluestone steps.
The original post office combined a postmaster’s residence with a postal hall, sorting room, and telegraph office which have subsequently been removed,
