This two-story brick building was once Morden's post office. It was constructed from 1913-1915. The landmark structure, with its sturdy red brick walls, mansard roofs pierced with dormers and tall corner clock tower, displays the electric style and standardized elements and massing then used by government architects to establish a conistent identity for federal buildings. The structure is also noted for its hand-wound public clocks believed to be amoung the last that remain in Manitoba.
