Description
Tour participants walk past Toronto's seventh Post Office, opened in 1853. The building was an active post office until 1873. It was then used for government offices, including by the department that would later become Revenue Canada. In 1937, it was sold to the Bank of Canada, and later was purchased by the Argus Corporation. The building was designated as a National Historic Site in 1958 as a fine example of Greek Revival style architecture.
