Burwood railway station, Sydney

[5][6][7] The station was relocated in 1892 to the current location on the east side of Burwood Road and along Railway Parade when the line was quadruplicated.

In 1886, a new building was erected at the railway station (this remains today) and in 1892, the present day Post Office, designed by W. L. Vernon, was opened.

It survived in its original form until c. 1894, when approximately 3/4 of the structure were removed from the southern side facing Railway Parade.

The building is a rare surviving example of a purpose-built post office dating from the years when this facility was often closely associated with the spread and development of the state's railway network...

[3] The surviving elements have the ability to be used in assisting in the interpretation of the many changes that have taken place to Burwood Railway Station since the opening of the first platform in 1855.

The Parcels Office is also of significance because it shows the original earlier platform alignment on which the tracks were located and the changes with the upgrading of the line through that area in 1892.
