A little more to discover
St. Lawrence Market continues the public market established in 1803 in York, as Toronto was then called. Its buildings and uses have changed over time. The drawing invents a produce stall and its characters; it represents no particular business. The market’s starting date is not the construction date of all its present buildings.
