Landmark on Main | LANDMARK ON MAIN WE ARE PROUD to introduce an assembly of outstanding commercial/residential properties, located at the heart of one of the most popular towns in the Greater Toronto Area. The collection compromises 180, 184/186, 188/190/192 and 194 Main Street South, Newmarket, which includes the iconic landmark former federal customs and post office building. THE STORY NEWMARKET was first settled in 1800 by Quakers from Pennsylvania led by Timothy Rogers, the ancestor of Ted Rogers of Rogers Communications fame. It wasn’t long before the downtown area began growing with trading posts and mills on the Holland River. Commercial activity prospered and since York (now Toronto) had the “Old Market”, this new thriving centre became known as the “New Market”. Newmarket never stopped growing with home construction and notable factories such as Davis Tannery, Office Specialty Furniture and Dixon Pencil. In 1862, Robert Simpson opened his store on Main Street before moving Simpsons to the corner of Queen and Yonge Streets in Toronto. In the 1880’s, Ontario’s first female apothecary had a drug store at 184 Main Street. Apart from the Newmarket opening in 1853 of the first steam engine railroad in Upper Canada which linked Toronto to Collingwood, Newmarket also enjoyed in 1900 the electric Radial Streetcar which ran on Main Street and brought Toronto tourists flocking to the Saturday Farmer’s Market...still a Newmarket tradition! 180 MAIN STREET SOUTH. The Newmarket Federal Building (also known as the Newmarket Post Office & Customs House and then becoming The Clock Tower Inn) was built in 1914 by the Canadian Department of Public Works under chief architect David Ewart. The concrete and steel frame structure faced with red brick embraces an Italianate styling. The 65 foot bell tower, with four clock faces and weather-vane, commands all downtown views from its Main Street and Park Avenue location. The Park Avenue addition was constructed in 1956. In 1984 the Federal Heritage Review Office designated the original building as a Recognized federal heritage building.

Newmarket has consistently been named one of the Best Places to Live in Canada by MoneySense Magazine and has garnered an international reputation for being one of the country’s most dynamic, diverse and desirable towns to live and work in. Newmarket is also widely considered a progressive place with a reputation for innovation, particularly in its environmental projects. Newmarket is located between the bustling City of Toronto and picturesque cottage country – allowing it to retain small town charm while providing big city amenities such as premium health care facilities (Southlake Regional Health Centre), upscale shopping and retail (Upper Canada Mall and unique shops around Town) and advanced transit networks (vivaNext rapid transit system). Its proximity to 400 series highways, sprawling parks and trails and affordable housing makes Newmarket an ideal location for young families and professionals alike. Additionally, the Town has extensive recreation and culture programs, public art initiatives and heritage and history preservation projects (including our Historic Downtown Main Street and the Elman W. Campbell Museum) for residents and tourists. MAIN STREET is the unique, historic, vibrant heart of Newmarket. Built along an ancient First Nations trade route, downtown Newmarket has always been a hotbed of heritage sites, culture, commerce, shopping and entertainment. Today people come for an authentic experience. Visitors can spend the day losing themselves in the 150 one-of-a-kind places to see. From retail shops, beauty salons, professional services, restaurants & pubs, the award-winning seasonal Farmer’s Market and Ferry Lake. Newmarket’s Main Street has what you are looking for. The same magic that attracts us to the famous city streets and quaint village centres is taking root in the suburban soil. For the third time in two hundred years, Main Street is resurrecting itself and the way people shop, eat and play. NEWMARKET RIVERWALK COMMONS features an outdoor stage and is host to various Newmarket events all year long. Some notable events include Music in the Park, Moonlight Movies, Kanata Summer Festival, Garlic is Great Festival, Winter Wonderland, the Newmarket Ice Lounge and more. *Source: www.newmarket.ca Presented By: Joshua Campbell, Coldwell Banker The Real Estate Centre | Graham Purvis, Royal Lepage RCR Realty LandmarkOnMain.ca NEWM A R KET P OINTS OF I NTER EST 31 GREEN LANE T E E R T S 25 N 28 I A M 27 57 37 T 32 E E R T S E I L S 16 E L 30 33 65 29 64 DAVIS DRIVE 43 41 24 40 42 23 1 2 47 46 62 44 45 3 63 26 38 65 8 19 14 13 5 6 15 9 20 12 7 10 17 11 34 4 18 HWY 400 35 21 EAGLE STREET 4 59 0 2 4 2 Y W T 60 E H E 54 R T 58 S E G 55 N O Y 52 MULOCK DRIVE 50 49 51 36 56 66 48 53 39 NEWM A RKET M A I N STR EET: Y O N G E STR EET: D AVIS DRIVE: LESL IE STR EET: 57 1 Wimpy’s Diner 20 York Region Administrative 40 Southlake Regional Health Centre Ford 58 2 Spice Vault Headquarters 41 Medical Arts Building (The Bridge) Audi 59 3 The Grey Goat 21 New Regional Building 42 Roxborough Residence Volkswagon 60 4 Cachet Being Built 43 Tannery and Go Station Future Porsche 61 5 Hungry Brew Hops 22 Newmarket Courthouse 44 Newmarket Plaza Toyota 62 6 Ground Burger Bar 23 Upper Canada Mall 45 York Town Square Nissan/Infinity 7 The Maid’s Cottage 24 The Market at UCM 46 Condo Projects (The Davis) 63 New Business Development 8 Lil; Brew Hops 25 SilverCity Cineplex 47 Business Projects at Stackhouse 9 Hop Bop Noodle 26 Moxies (The Stratus Building) 64 404 Town Centre 10 Joia on Main 27 The Keg 65 Celestica Headquarters 11 Cardinal Press 28 Costco (Just off Leslie) 12 Olde Village Freehouse 29 Canadian Tire MULO C K D R I VE: 66 Desjardins Headquarters 13 Old Town Hall 30 Home Depot (Just off Leslie in Aurora) 48 14 Newmarket Community Centre 31 Lowes Mercedes 49 15 Riverwalk Commons 32 Walmart BMW 50 16 Tom Taylor Trail 33 Staples Volvo T R ANSI T: 51 17 Gorman Pool 34 Pickle Barrel Magna Centre 52 18 Fairy Lake 35 Ray Twinney Recreation Newmarket Municipal Offices Newmarket Public Transit 53 19 Newmarket Public Library Complex (just off Yonge) Future Go Station Viva 36 Mulock Farm 54 Pickering College (Just Off Mulock) Go Stations 37 New Roads Cadillac/GMC 55 Newmarket Theatre 2 Highway Interchanges 38 New Road Subaru (at Newmarket High School) (Davis and Mulock) 39 St. Andrews College (SAC) 56 Magna International Highway 404 and 400 (On Yonge in Aurora) Presented By: Joshua Campbell, Coldwell Banker The Real Estate Centre | Graham Purvis, Royal Lepage RCR Realty LandmarkOnMain.ca THE PROPERTIES 180 MAIN STREET This iconic former Federal Post Office and Customs House building with four-faced clock & bell tower dominates all views from the historic downtown at a key corner location at Main Street and Park Avenue.

  • Botsford St Church, Newmarket Monthly Meeting 1961 – 1980
    Yonge St Monthly Meeting Also called - Botsford St Church, Newmarket Monthly Meeting 1961 – 1980 Archives: This minute book file and some death records is held by the Canadian Quaker Archives and Library in Newmarket, Ontario. It is stored in Box 41, item 7. The fonds is also described as O-41-item with the O standing for Orthodox. The minutes for 1972 to 1980 end at page 61 of the pdf and are followed by financial reports for the same period. Death records start at page 81. Botsford St Friends Church in Newmarket was also called Yonge St Meeting and Newmarket Meeting. In 1881, the Orthodox Canada Yearly Meeting separated into Evangelical (church service) and Conservative (silent worship) branches. At Yonge St, the Conservative branch maintained the original 1812 Meeting House and was designated Yonge St Conservative. The Botsford St Friends Church was designated Yonge St Orthodox with an Evangelical church service and they were the other part of the separation establishing their church in Newmarket. The Church Friends received the burying ground on Yonge St. Both monthly meetings were named Yonge Street Monthly Meeting, claiming legal and theological continuation to the original meeting body. This Monthly Meeting file was deposited along with all the Botsford St. Mtg. minute books in the CYM Archives in the early 1980's, by Marjorie Moore Keffer, clerk at the time, when the Botsford St meeting was laid down. Box 41 was created at that time. It was microfilmed, with other Botsford St records, but not part of the 1975 microfilming. This transcription is made freely available and supports search, cut and paste.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly…” –Theodore Roosevelt 4 Head Shots Dare to Dream!
