Tenterfield, NSW, 2372 - Australia Post Offices on Waymarking.com

As I was taking photographs a local stopped to talk. He explained that the stone to build the post office was quarried near Maitland & the plastering was done by a Frenchman. The plaster is still in first class order.

The following information was obtained from the NSW Government Office of Environment & Heritage viz (visit link)

A two-storey stuccoed Italianate post office with single-storey parapeted colonnade and three-storey clock tower with French Second Empire mansard roof. The colonnade has arched openings with drip moulds and rendered keystones, and the parapet has a deep entablature with detil moulding. A front extension continues the theme of the colonnade, but in a more austere manner. The upper floor windows are segmentally arched, with a deep string course, and there are paired brackets to the eaves of the hipped corrugated iron roof. The clock tower has Tuscan corner pilasters to the third level and features clock faces to all sides. The steep mansard roof has a widow's walk with cast iron balustrade, and large ocular vents to each face. The Quarters are entered from the side street through a skillion-roofed timber verandah with paired posts. (Australia Post Historic Properties Survey - NSW.)
