John Wilson Store 30

  
Community Markham
Year Constructed:  1864
Address: 80 Main Street North
John Wilson (Remember we talked of John Wilson earlier?) built this Ontario Vernacular store with the boomtown front in 1864. A boomtown front is a false front which masks the roof behind. Mr. Wilson lived in the building directly south. Since this time, the building has continually been a store and a general store, a shoe store and a hardware store at different periods over the years. Henry Tane and Charlie Sargent were both past proprietors.

It is fitting that this building started as a shoe store, and is now Markham Village Boots and Shoes.
