History 

The Historic Post Office (circa 1912) is a Romanesque Revival-style landmark in the community, once vital to the social and cultural life of Melfort.  

It stands as one of the few remaining early 20th century public buildings in the west that symbolized the Federal Government’s presence in small, growing communities, encapsulating the ambitions and optimism of the area’s early residents. In 2012, City Council declared the Historic Post Office as a municipal heritage property.
