This photo of the original post office at the corner of John and King was taken not long after it opened in 1886. W. E. Sanford Clothing is on the left. Sir Joh...n A. Macdonald is standing in his prominent but precarious position in the middle of the intersection. "In 1882, the Dominion government, purchasing the land for $45,000, started work on a new central Post Office. The building, taking four long years to erect, officially opened on October 23, 1886. The architecture was a mixture of Elizabethan and Corinthian. The main contract for the project was given to Van Allen & Love, while smaller jobs were given to various smaller local companies: MacKay & Boyde, plastering; Adam Clark, plumbing; Duthie & Son, slating; Irving & Son, galvanized iron work and roofing; J. Garland, painting and oil finishing; J.J. Blackmore, heating; and Brown & Love, masonry. The building, from the ground floor to the top of the tower, measured 140 feet. The slated spire stood 35 feet tall, and the lead pinnacle stood 19 feet high. The walls were made from reddish-brown sandstone and the roof was fabricated from Nova Scotian quarried slate. The interior was decorated with highly ornamental hand-carved pieces, of which no two were identical. The public area of the Post Office and the Customs Office were decorated with fine carvings. The interior ceilings were seventeen feet high, and the building was equipped with fifteen fireproof vaults. All private offices were provided with marble topped wash stands, complete with silver-plated taps. Hoodless and Sons were given the contract for supplying the carpeting and furnishings."
