June 6, 1904 - Samuel Hooper was appointed Manitoba's first Provincial Architect. He designed dozens of buildings for the province, including the
Winnipeg Land Titles Building, Brandon Court House, and the Vaughan Street Jail. (Also see here and here.)
June 6, 1944 - D-Day, the Invasion of Normandy, began.
June 6, 1958 - The official opening of Winnipeg's new Dominion Post Office on Graham Avenue took place.
The ceremony was meant to show the old and new modes of postal service.
Postmaster General of Canada William Hamilton and Winnipeg Postmaster George Foord left Ross House, Winnipeg's first post office, in a 120 year-old former Wells Cargo coach owned by the Winnipeg Free Press. The federal Minister of Trade departed the airport by RCAF helicopter and landed on the helipad on the roof of the new building. They met at the front doors of the building for the ribbon cutting.
The building is now Winnipeg's Police headquarters.
