A collage showing: 1. A vintage ad for Cutler Mail Chutes featuring a uniformed postal worker. 2. The 10th-floor mail chute labeled “Mitchell-Cutler Mail Chute” with “Canada Mail” and “The Robert Mitchell Co. Limited Montreal.” 3. A brass lobby mailbox with “LETTERS,” the Canadian coat of arms, “Canada Mail,” and “Mitchell-Cutler Mail Chute” engraved on it.
✉️ Did you know this 1920s mailbox in the Jackman Humanities Building was once part of a working mail chute system? The system is no longer in service, but it still delivers something special 😉
