South Edmonton Post Office


One of Edmonton's registered historical sites, the former post office built between 1911 and 1913 is a classic example of Edwardian era architecture. In 1915 the clock tower was reconstructed ten feet taller to meet the aesthetic of this era. Set in limestone tower capped with pyramidal metal roof with finial, each of the four clock faces is surrounded by a semicircular reveal. They were imported from J. Smith and Sons Midland Clock Works in Derby, England.
