St. Lawrence Market. North Market (1850-1904), Front Street East, north side, between Market & Jarvis Streets, prior to 1898. Toronto Public Library.
Description
The St. Lawrence Market is the city’s oldest market, dating from 1803. The first market occupied the northwest corner of Front and Jarvis Streets, eventually also the site of Toronto’s first city hall. A joint city hall, police station, and market building opened in 1845 on the south side of Front Street. Both north and south market buildings were significantly renovated in 1904 as well throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The most recent north market building, erected in 1968, was demolished in 2015.
