Built in 1862 during Creswick's goldfields era and extended in 1887, this two-storey brick post office sits at the corner of Albert and Raglan Streets, at 81 Albert Street. Original post office boxes remain set into its walls, and the building is listed on the Victorian Heritage Database.

2Creswick Town Hall

Built in 1876 to a competition-winning design by architect W.R.H. Creber, this two-storey rendered-brick hall stands on a bluestone plinth and is crowned by an unusual squat corner tower. Tied to Creswick's gold-mining era, it is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register (H0576) and today houses the Creswick Museum.
