Town of Battleford Post Office
North Battleford Post Office - demolished 1972



More research into print and
book publishing has offered
more fascinating historical facts.

In this case, it relates to the watercolor shown early in this blog and below, incorrectly titled 'Watercolor of the neighboring Town of Battleford, Main Street' under the 2011 tab.

Watercolor by Fritz, 1969 Post Office North Battleford on the former King Street (101st Street)

Internet research shows that Canada Post had a similar architectural design for its post office buildings throughout Saskatchewan in the early 1900s. Many have since been torn down and others declared heritage sights. The similarities certainly explain the mix-up from the Fritz archives - no notes were kept for most of the works.
