As reported in the Bacchus Marsh Express in 1904.
The Post Office
Built in 1890, extended in 1911 and the tower raised in 1912.
(Moore & Oomes, pp.67,85,)
It was demolished in the mid 20th century and a new building erected on the same spot. That building was closed as a post office in the early 21st century and the post office was moved into the Bacchus Marsh Village Shopping Centre, further down Main Street, (at the site of the old Butter Factory).
This photo shows the ANA building on the left and the Post Office on the right.
