Built between 1907 and 1908, the Windsor Post and Telegraph Offices were designed by prominent Melbourne architect and former Commonwealth Works Director for Victoria Horrace John MacKennal (18?? - 1949). It is of an Arts and Crafts federation freestyle design with American Romanesque influences. Detailed lead light windows, stone, red brick and a pitched slate roof combine with classical and Art Noveau detail. Horace John Mackennal joined the Commonwealth Government service in 1901, and was Commonwealth Works Director for Victoria from 1912 until his retirement in 1939.
