- Notes
- In 1856, Ebenezer Perry sold this corner property to the Bank of Montreal who then built this building around 1860. In 1881, it was conveyed to W. D. Burn who sold it to the Crown in December 1882 and it became the Cobourg Post Office. In 1889, after the addition was constructed, it also became the Custom's House. Despite much controversy and objection, the Post Office moved to its present location and this building was demolished in 1960.
