Summary

Post Office at Strathalbyn in 1866-67. Mail from Adelaide was carried by a rider on horseback so when the original post office operated from the Foster and Horne's old store in Swale Street the residents were pleased. The post office serviced the community from the ground floor of Edward Sunter's two storey house. A new post office and residence was erected in 1861 and this offered telegraph, post and money-order services. Pillar boxes were introduced in 1880 and door to door services in 1873
