The Fremantle Post Office located in Market Street, Fremantle was designed by Hillson Beasley of the Public Works Department, planned in 1906[1] and opened in 1907. It was renovated during the Western Australian Centenary year of 1929,[2] and again in 1987 for the America's Cup challenge. Following a rain storm in August 2022,[3] the ceiling collapsed, and the Post Office operations have been temporarily moved to other locations in Fremantle. Currently, the post office is operating from 22 Queen Street, Fremantle.[4]
A site on the other (east) side of Market Street, and further south, was also considered in 1905 as a location for the new post office.[5] The shops along Market Street and bordered by Cantonment Street and High Street were to be resumed, and a new building built; this never eventuated.
The building is listed on the Register of the National Estate.[6]
