Post Office - 1932
22371 River Road, Maple Ridge, BC.
This modest structure was built by the post mistress, Mrs. M.B. Storey, in a convenient location beside the train station; it served as Port Haney's post office from 1933 until 1939. Lougheed Highway had opened in 1931, obliging most local businesses to relocate along the new commercial strip. Patrons began to grumble about the long extra walk up and down the hill to get their mail, so in 1939 Mrs. Storey built a new structure on Fraser Street (which has since been moved to Calligan Avenue). It is now a retail store.
