The former Dominion Post Office in Portage la Prairie was designed by Fuller is his favoured interpretation of the Romanesque Revival style. Like many of his federal buildings, it features a steep mansard roof and central gable. Originally, the ground floor housed the Post Office while the upper floor held the Customs and Revenue Office. Now in use as the city hall since 1960.
