Post Office, Wee Waa Street, Walgett



Some time in the 1930s or 1940s a new street-front facade was added to the old Victorian era post office at Walgett. This modest Art Deco facade has some Inter-War Free Classical Style characteristics. The current joinery colours leave a bit to be desired.

Hi Jose

Always enjoy your posts - seems like every country town has its own treasures. Our Society (Art Deco & Modernism Society) is working with the Albury Museum and Art Gallery to present an exhibition on Art Deco next June. As part of it, I recently ran a seminar and some walking tours of Albury's Art Deco treasures. Can send you the booklet if you send me your address (send to robingrow@ozemail.com.au) Am also preparing tyo run some tours in Leeton next April as part of their Art Deco weekend

regards Robin Grow (President ADMS)

Hi Robin, Yes, there are little treasures everywhere. Albury and Leeton have some particularly delightful Art Deco. Thanks for the encouragement. I'll keep posting! Jose
