MANGONUI POST OFFICE BUILDING 1904
The second, larger post office building was erected in 1904 on the site of the first post office built in 1876. Opened on 28 November 1904, the new building included accommodation for the postmaster.
A telephone exchange was added in 1911, with 15 initial subscribers. In May 1989, as part of the restructuring of postal services, the post office was closed. A restaurant now occupies the building.
