Sirdar (and we're guessing you've never heard of it) is a teeny little community consisting of the general store, a pub and a house or two about 16 kilometres north on Highway 3A from the Highway 3/3A junction in Creston, BC. It is about midway up Duck Lake.
The post office today is in the Sirdar General Store and Antique Shop, which was established in 1913. The heritage building has been a general store since its construction in 1913 and once housed a six room hotel on the upper floor. The false fronted building hasn't changed much, if at all, since it was built, the interior still showing the old wood floor and unpainted wood walls and exposed ceiling beams. The exterior is still clad in wood shiplap siding. To our knowledge this is the oldest store in its original building in the valley.
The post office itself is open from 9:30 to 13:00 Monday to Thursday and 9:30 to 17:30 on Friday, closed Saturday and Sunday. Occupying a tiny little annex on the side of the general store, this is almost certainly the SMALLEST post office we've come across.
