The Paul Martin Sr. Building is a 5-storey Art deco lowrise office building in downtown Windsor, Ontario, located on the west side of Ouellette Avenue between Chatham St and Pitt St. It is named after Paul Martin Sr., father of former Prime Minister of Canada, Paul Martin. The building is also known by its French name "Edifice Paul Martin" and was at one time nicknamed the "Post Office Building" due to the fact that it once housed the Canada Post office. The Canada Post office was relocated to a new location down the street around 1994. The building houses the Canada Revenue Agency and Canada Border Services Agency, in addition to a Canada Post depot and dock which remain after the public post office moved from the front portion of the building. The building was renamed on November 18, 1994.
