Formerly located at the northeast corner of Railway Street South and Moffat Avenue in Pilot Mound, in the Municipality of Louise, a two-storey brick building, measuring 30 feet by 120 feet, was built in 1895 for the hardware, implement, and undertaking business of Dugald “D. B.” Graham (1853-1939). In its original configuration, the structure contained a single retail space on the main floor that housed Graham’s hardware and implement business, while the second floor was a hall used by the town council and travelling shows.
The building was demolished in 1964 to make way for the new Dominion Post Office Building.
