Description

The Woodville Post Office was completed in 1904 and demolished in 1982. It was damaged in the 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake and the brickwork from the top storey was removed at that time. The postmaster originally lived in the top storey of the building with his family. A poll was carried out in c.1979, when about half the town said the building should be demolished, while the other half wanted it saved as an historic building.
