Thanks for this, Stuart. I'll add this link to our page: Post Office (former), Dargaville (NZHPT register)
The building is the former Post Office, opened in Dargaville in 1914. It is a Category I historic place. When opened, it had a tower, but no clock. In March 1925, G N Hayes presented the clock 'as a memorial to his late partner Lt Charles Darling and other men from the Northern Wairoa who made the supreme sacrifice in the Great War, 1914 - 1918'. Now privately owned, the former Post Office is currently (August 2010) undergoing conservation with funding assistance from NZ Historic Places Trust. The building has had a variety of tenants, one of which was a church group.
