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. It continues to serve as a post office.[3]
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.[4] 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.[5]
