The édifice Louis-S.-St-Laurent is a Second Empire–style post office designed by architect Pierre Gauvreau and located in the La Cité-Limoilou district of Quebec City. Built during the era when the Second Empire aesthetic dominated public architecture in Canada, the building exemplifies the ornamental severity and mansard-roofed formality characteristic of that style. It has been recognized as both a classified federal heritage building of Canada and part of a Quebec heritage property, reflecting its historical and architectural significance to the city.
