History
The station was built in 1871 by the Toronto and Nipissing Railway,[1] which was taken over by the Grand Trunk Railway, which ultimately became part of the Canadian National Railway in 1923. It has been designated as a heritage railway station[2] by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. The Town of Markham purchased the building as a Millennium project and are undertaking its restoration[3] in conjunction with the Markham Village Conservancy, who manages the station.[4] In addition to facilities for GO Transit, the building is used as community centre, with two rooms with a capacity of either 100 or 30 people, available for rental.[5]
