Toronto's First Post Office (or Fourth York Post Office) is an 1834 post office that is today a historical museum with a few postal and local history exhibits. It is the oldest purpose-built and the only surviving example of a post office that functioned as a department of the British Royal Mail. The style of the building is late Georgian architecture. Visitors can prepare an old-fashioned folded-sheet letter using a quill pen and sealing wax for a small additional fee. The museum also contains a modern post office outlet.
