The Stick Shed is the 101st place included in the National Heritage List. Completed in 1942, the unique and dramatic structure of The Stick Shed has captured the imagination of everyone who has seen its serene and evocative cathedral-like interior. Referred to by some as the ‘Cathedral of the Wimmera’. The Murtoa Stick Shed’s ghostly unmilled tall timber poles and central aisle draw the eye upward towards the roof as light spills into the space through skylights as if through a stained-glass window.

Civic Town Hall The building is listed as being of state significance on the Victorian Heritage Registry. The practice’s design for the Warracknabeal Town Hall marked a significant departure from the classically inspired town halls that were prevalent around Australia and is an important example from the practice. The architectural practice of Seabrook and Fildes designed the Warracknabeal Town Hall. The practice is best known for Norman Seabrook’s competition-winning design for MacRobertson Girls’ High School (1933) in Albert Park, Melbourne.

The Warracknabeal Post Office was constructed in1906-07 to the design of the Victorian Public Works Department architect Samuel Bindley. The two storeyed building is constructed in the English Domestic Revival style and features face brickwork to the ground floor level and half timbering to the upper storey. The elaborately ornamented exterior features heavily ribbed chimneys. The postmaster's quarters which, with four large bedrooms, an elegant drawing room, living room, dining room and kitchen, is one of the grandest postal residences in Victoria. The postal chamber is by comparison quite modest and has been extensively altered over the years although it has retained its pressed metal ceiling. An addition to the south was made in 1912-13 to house the telegraph office.
