The Old Post Office in Dawson City, Yukon, was built in 1901. It was designed by Thomas Fuller, a renowned Canadian architect at the time. It is among the oldest buildings in the Yukon. Mail was a vital part of Dawson life since the town was formed in 1896 because it allowed the gold miners to keep in touch with the outside world.
The building contains a large vault, 1775 assorted brass-faced boxes, and drawers to hold the mail. There is also a postmaster's office, delivery offices, and a telegraph receiving room. On the second floor are ten offices. These were inhabited by the Customs Service, the Crown Lands Department, the Registrar of Crown Lands and the Telegraph Service. A small elevator for messages and parcels connected them with activities on the floor below. An annex on the side of the building housed Fuller's office; later it became the telegraph office.
That's my title cuz I don't have a clue. The artist is V Tessaro, I don't know if this is a reproduction - when I searched "V Tessaro" - Vittorio Tessaro came up and nothing like this showed up in his collection - lots of nude bronze. This figurine is in the hallway of an apartment building I visited a few days ago. Who knows, could be a treasure waiting to be discovered!
Any further information would be appreciated.
Funnily enough, it's no longer the Post Office.
This building replaced the General Post Office building built only 25 years earlier further along Meadowside which was demolished to make way for the Courier Building.
This building, itself superseded by something not even worth mentioning, appeared to be empty - languishing as a former nightclub. Oh, the indignity.

Windy Post Cross is hundreds of years old. It is an old marker for the Abbot's way; a trail used by Monks that wanted to cross Dartmoor. In the foreground is the Grimstone and Sortridge leat.
The pink cast to the sky is artificial and I think is the result of my cheap coikin ND filters not blocking light evenly. I used two filters here: a 3-stop grad and a 3-stop ND.

The Post Office Square is another fave Green spaces in the city, bang in the middle of the financial district.
A well designed space full of aesthetics and popular among office goers during the weekday lunch.
Seeing it through the IR was always on the cards given how lush this tiny area is.
