Interior of the south market
St. Lawrence
Market is a major public
market in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
It is located at Front
St. East and Jarvis
St in the Old
Towndistrict of Toronto. There are three buildings in the complex,
each having a different purpose. St.
Lawrence Market North, on the north side of Front St, hosts weekly farmer's
markets and antique
markets. A public market has been held on the north building site since
1803. Several buildings have housed the building, the most recent built
in 1968. St.
Lawrence Market South, on the south side of Front St, is open daily,
hosting food stalls, restaurants and the St.
Lawrence Market Gallery. The South building dates to 1845, and has
been rebuilt twice, and still incorporates a section of its original
building which was used as Toronto City Hall from 1845. St.
Lawrence Hall is an event
and office building on King at Jarvis, built in 1850.
St. Lawrence Market
was named the world's best food market by National
Geographic in April
2012.[1][2] Starting
in 2015, the North building has shut to allow for redevelopment. While
the North site is redeveloped, its market functions have moved to south
of the South building in a temporary building.
