Very Creepy ABANDONED 125 Year Old Federal Customs and Postal Building

All right. What's up, guys? So, today we are in what I think used to be a part of a post office. From what I can tell, I don't know 100% and I'll know one more when I get home and I can find out the history, but from what I'm seeing here behind me, I think this used to be for uh male sorting. And this room here would be uh one of the sorting rooms. So, I'm pretty sure that's what's going on here. But, we're going to figure that out as we go. And when I get home, I'll do some research, do some history, give you guys some narration and some information down below. But for the meantime, guys, let's just check this really cool building out. Lots of cool places. Amazing staircase. You guys are going to love the staircase. Cool. Old like green rooms and stuff like that. Old bathtub upstairs. You guys are going to like it. So, one thing real quick, thanks to my good buddy, so sincere for hooking us up with this one. He's the reason why we're here, but he's not here with us today. So, his links are down below. I got to get myself together. Cue the music. Cue the intro. See you guys on the other side. All right. So, it's super dark in here. So, I got all my lights cranked on full blast. I got two lights attached to my camera here. So, here is where I believe the mail would be going and probably sorting down into here is my guess. I don't know if it would be sorting up and into there. I have no idea. I don't know how mail operations work. So, you guys will have to be the ones to tell me if that's how that would work. Then we got some offices here. Hopefully, it's not too dark for you guys. There's a bunch of documents and paperwork. Yep. I can see from the paperwork here. Canada Post Corporation. So, this used to be part of a post office. Okay, there you go. So, now we know I was right. This is a fancy little window here for the person who worked in this office. And uh according to this person who wrote this, this room sucks. And I probably would agree. So this is just one big room with some pillars. Lots of room for tables and sorting of things. What's going on over here? That's a fire exit. And that's it. Okay. So the best part is to come. This is probably the most boring part of the whole building. So, we just take a quick look back here. There we go. And then we go this way. And this here says lunchroom, second floor, locker, and washrooms right there. So, here's your main front door. It's completely bordered up, so it's very dark in here. All right. Big tall windows. That would have been a nice big window right there. And then here is where things get good, guys. Here we go. Oh, look at Look at this floor, though. This tile floor. That's nice. I didn't notice that until right now. Okay, here we go. This is where things get good, guys. green walls, gorgeous staircase. Look at that. All the way up to the top. And we have a radiator here. And we will check out the basement. We'll go there last right there. But uh yeah, check the staircase out, guys. It's a beautiful staircase right there. Just do a slow pan up for you here. I came into this building many many many years ago when I was looking scouting for abandoned places and I spotted this building that looked abandoned and I came in that door right there and there were some dudes who were working inside and they said they were working to turn it into a nightclub or something at the time. This was several years ago. I'm guessing it never uh came to be because it certainly doesn't look like it was ever a nightclub. So, there's a sexy look down that staircase. Oh, look at that. That's nice, eh? Wow. Okay, so we have two floors from here. We have this floor and then one more floor up. So, let's go check it out. I'm guessing this might have maybe been a lunchroom up here. Wood panel walls, corkboard walls. I hate these drop ceilings. They make they're so ugly. Like look up here. You can see above the drop ceiling the original walls and window treatments and stuff. They just completely ruined it with this drop ceiling business. I don't know why people do that. I'm sure there's a reason, but I don't like it. Okay, this is I like this a lot. There's a skylight right here giving a real nice bit of natural light coming through right there. Super nice. And then we got a couple of other rooms here. Just a sink. There's a bathroom here. No urinal. So this would be the ladies room. Look at the purple. Goes from purple to the green to more green. There's our skylight right there. Then here's another room just empty. But then here, I think this is the bathroom. So here's likely your Yep, there's your men's room. Have a urinal. You have dual sinks. What's up, guys? All right. Guess an empty room here. What's this? Oh, this is probably to open that. Okay, I see. Okay, so let's just take a minute here cuz this is pretty cool. Line this up real nice. Get a look there at the window straight ahead. stairs on the right. And I'm gonna back up a bit. And then we'll do a pan over this way to see the hallway and the skylight. And then up here, this also could have been the lunchroom or a boardroom. And there's a couple of doors that go to the building next door, but the building next door, from what I understand, is active, so you can't get into it. They've totally sealed it off. All right. And that's this floor. So, now we're going to head back over and we'll go back to the stairs. And we'll go up to the top floor. Here we go, guys. Take a look down the stairs. See? Cool, eh? There's a big hole in the floor right there. There's like this hole in the ceiling just dumping water right down. Okay, so this is just a hallway with several rooms. This is like a kitchen right here. And then couple more rooms here. Each room has a radiator or a radiator if you will, depending on your preference. We got some floral print wallpaper behind this. Okay, that's just a closet, guys, right there. And just another normal room. That's a closet, guys. There's a closet. Big window. Guess that window probably went right there. And then this room just goes over here to a shared this a bathroom. No, just a shared uh storage space. So, I wonder if these were offices. I mean, they look like bedrooms, but maybe they were offices. I don't know, guys. H. And then two more rooms. Got a bathroom here with a bathtub. Super cool old claw foot tub. It's very close to the toilet though. Very close. Old ass sink. And two more rooms. This little room right here. And this room right here. This the windows right there. Goes right there. Okay. So, now that I've done the whole building top to bottom, I will do some panning shots and I'll narrate you whatever I've been able to learn about the history of this building that we're in. So, let's go. This building was constructed in the early 1900s to serve as both a post office and a customs house. At the time, it played a vital role in handling incoming mail and monitoring goods brought into the area, making it a key part of the region's infrastructure. Its design reflects the architectural style of the era. Solid, symmetrical, and built to last. Structures like this were meant to project a sense of permanence and authority, which was especially important for federal buildings. For decades, this was a busy hub with people coming and going daily. Whether they were picking up mail or dealing with import regulations, it stood alongside other key institutions, forming the heart of the community's civic life. Now the building is no longer in active use for its original purpose, but there are ongoing discussions about repurposing it. One proposed idea is to convert it into student housing, giving new life to the structure while preserving its historical character. Even in its quiet state, the building remains a lasting symbol of an earlier time, a piece of living history that continues to shape conversations about the future. All right, guys. That's a wrap on this one. Hope you guys have enjoyed this very interesting old post office building. I definitely have. Definitely love this staircase behind me, the green walls, the natural light upstairs. Super cool stuff. Hope you guys have enjoyed this one. Make sure you do all those things.
