The Post Office is a cement-rendered brick building, which displays Renaissance features.
Its asymmetric facade has a loggia on the lower level, which shades the building along Flinders and Denham Streets and a verandah along the front and side facade of the upper level.
The lowpitched hipped roof of corrugated iron extends into four gabled projections, while a slender clocktower and parapeted cupola dominates the corner.

On the upper level, French doors open onto the verandah, with sashed windows in all other openings.
The interior is not as intact as the facade because of years of alterations.
The building stands in a commanding position in the streetscape at the eastern end of Flinders Mall.
It can be seen from across Ross Creek and enhances the western end of historic Flinders Street East.
Despite interior modifications, the basic structure is intact and in excellent condition.
