History of Our BuildingIn May of 1902, the Dominion government announced that it had allocated $20,000 for the construction of a Post Office building in Sault Ste. Marie. After much discussion the corner of East and Queen Streets was chosen for the construction of the new building as the winter ice road was located at the foot of East St. Although the contract was set and work began May 1st, 1904, the building was not available for occupancy until March 31st of 1906.
