Toronto's inaugural postal outlet, located one and a half blocks east of Jarvis and just north of King, first opened in 1833. The red brick building was once occupied by the town of York's first postmaster, who did business through the side door. Today, the three storey Georgian house is home to a living history museum as well as a postal and philatelic outlet. Part of a group of buildings designed by Henry Langley, the three houses incorporated the original Bank of Upper Canada, the De La Salle Institute and the Post Office. Admission is free.
