c. 1908; unused; the post office was located on the southwest corner of Ouellette Avenue and Pitt Street; it was built in 1879 and demolished in 1932; the Boer War Monument, designed by Walter Allard, is located at the front entrance. It was dedicated on May 24th, 1906, and later moved to Jackson Park; the reddish brown building behind the post office and park is the Victoria Block (southwest corner of Ouellette Avenue and Chatham Street); given the flags and banners, the photograph may have been taken on Dominion Day (July 1st). |
