This one-storey brick building on Main Street South in Morris was designed by Charles D. Sutherland (1879-1957), Chief Architect for the Department of Public Works at Ottawa. It was constructed in 1937 and used as a post office until postal services were moved to a new building. At the time of a 2020 site visit, the former post office was in use as a business office.
