Strathcona Public Building, Provincial historic resource and post office in Old Strathcona, Edmonton, Canada
The Strathcona Public Building features Beaux-Arts architecture with symmetrical design elements, grand proportions, and classical details throughout its exterior facade.
Constructed in 1913 by architect David Ewart, this building served as a post office during a period of rapid growth following Edmonton's amalgamation with Strathcona.
