The illustrated presentation is based on the book, Towers of Time: Ontario (Looking Back Press).
It examines the post Confederation inventory of Post Office buildings in Ontario. Their architectural styles vary but reflect some common themes and their histories are linked. Area buildings featured in the analysis include both Guelph former Post Offices; Galt, Preston and Hespeler; Kitchener and Waterloo together with others from Ontario.
The analysis uses additional examples from Canada for the national context. Dr. Boileau will have copies of Towers of Time: Ontario available for sale at the lecture. The price of the book is $24.00, taxes included.
