Markham Village Town Hall, also called Old Town Hall, is a building at 96 Main Street North in Markham, Ontario, Canada, and was the home to Markham Town Council from 1882 until it moved to a location on Woodbine Avenue. It was built in 1882 by local builder John Wilson in an Italianate architecture style, with brick, from a local brickyard, laid by mason Joseph Sampson.[2]
Besides council chambers the building was home to a local jail, and to Masonic and Oddfellow Lodges.[3]
The building was sold in 1946, was a cinema until 1980 until it was reconstructed to its original facade and modified internal structure by Tony Baggio CPEng. As of March 2016[update], it housed business offices and was one of many historically preserved buildings on Main Street Markham.[2] It was designated a heritage site under the Ontario Heritage Act on April 23, 1985.[2] The designation lists the following the features (excerpted from reference[2]):
- two storey coral brick exterior
- shed roof
- entrance with semi-circular fanlight and voussoirs of yellow brick
- yellow brick detailing in voussoirs and joining string courses
- decorated cornice
- heavy timber truss supporting second storey and roof
- round headed windows
