St. Lawrence Market
St. Lawrence Market is one of two major markets in Toronto (the other being Kensington Market). It is located west of Jarvis Street, between King Street East and the Esplanade. It was established in the early part of the city’s history and was once home to Toronto’s first permanent city hall and jail house from 1845 to 1899. Designed by Henry Bowyer Lane, the first floor was formerly Police Station # 1. The illustration below shows “New Market House”, Toronto City Hall from 1845-1899. The yellow brick outline of the centre part of that building can still be seen in the facade of the current building. Toronto city vacations.
