David Barkey Rowhouses 24

  
Community Markham
Year Constructed:  1895
Address: 40-44 Main Street North
The Speight Wagon Company had his row of Second Empire style houses built in 1895. This type of housing was relatively inexpensive to construct as the walls were shared with the adjacent homes. In the 1880's, the wagon manufactory employed over 100 workers. some of the employees resided in these homes. It is interesting to note that at this time, the population of the entire Township of Markham was only 600.
