York Post Office plaque Toronto 260 Adelaide Street East Toronto

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: YORK POST OFFICE Originally all post offices in Upper Canada were owned by the postmasters in charge, - who were imperial appointments. This building was constructed for postmaster James Scott Howard during 1833-1835 and functioned as the town's post office until Howard's dismissal in 1837. A typical example of a small public building of the time, combining public offices with a private residence, it survives as a rare example of an early Canadian post office. In 1876, it was incorporated into the present block of buildings. The mansard roof is a later addition.
Français : LE BUREAU DE POSTE DE YORK CANADA Dans les premiers temps de la colonie, chaque bureau de poste appartenait au maître de poste, dont la nomination était politique. Ce bâtiment, construit en 1833-1835 pour le maître de poste James Scott Howard, servit de bureau de poste de Toronto jusqu'au départ de Howard en 1837. Rare témoin des premiers bureaux de poste canadiens, il est caractéristique des petits bâtiments publics de l'époque, qui abritaient bureaux publics et résidence privée sous un même toit. En 1876, on incorpora la construction à ce groupe de bâtiments en rangée. Plus tard, on ajouta le toit en mansarde.
