Gilbert H. Grosvenor Hall, Post office in Baddeck, Canada.
The three-story red sandstone building features rounded arches over doors and windows, with a copper and slate high hipped roof.
Construction began in 1886 under architect Thomas Fuller, who designed many federal buildings including Ottawa's first Parliament buildings.
The building was named after Gilbert H. Grosvenor, editor of National Geographic Magazine from 1903 to 1954, by his daughter Gertrude Gayley.
The structure operates as the Bras d'Or Lakes and Watershed Interpretive Centre, offering educational resources about local environmental systems.
An ornamental clock installed in 1912 on the west gable includes the carved face of former Member of Parliament Charles J. Campbell.
