Yellowknife Post Office, Modern post office in Yellowknife, Canada
The two-story Yellowknife Post Office stands at 4902 Franklin Avenue with a flat roof and ten structural bays in modernist federal architecture.
Established in 1956, the post office facilitated communication between Yellowknife residents and the outside world during the city's expansion from Old Town.
The building connects government offices, First Nations communities, and mining industry workers through essential postal and administrative services on two floors.
This central postal facility provides mailing services, while the second floor contains federal government offices and a functioning courtroom.
The structure will receive a new name recognizing its position on Chief Drygeese Territory through collaboration with Yellowknives Dene First Nation Elders.
