Paul Martin Sr. Building, Art Deco office building in Windsor, Canada
The Paul Martin Sr. Building is a five-story limestone structure in Art Deco style located on Ouellette Avenue. Its facade features decorative bronze elements and Canadian insignia that reflect the architectural character of its era.
It was constructed in 1933 as the Dominion Public Building and underwent a major expansion in 1959 to accommodate growing postal operations. This addition reflected the changing needs of federal services during that period.
The building honors Paul Martin Sr., a prominent Canadian politician, through its official renaming in 1994. Bronze plaques and Canadian crests are displayed above the ground floor entrance, marking its federal significance.
The building is prominently situated on Ouellette Avenue and easily visible from street level. Visitors can view the facade and exterior details from the sidewalk to appreciate its architectural features.
The limestone facade underwent extensive restoration in 2017 through a federal government renovation initiative. This work preserved the original character of the building's exterior for future generations.
