Location: south side of the North St. Lawrence Market building, Front St.
Date photo taken: 19 March 2013
This image represents a small portion of a long two-part mural that stretches along the south side of the North St. Lawrence Market building. Echoing what goes on inside, the mural depicts a farmer's market overflowing with the bounty of fall. This building is now closed and is slated for demolition. In 2010 City Council approved redevelopment of the site to include a multi-storey building that would increase the utility of the site. In addition to a large Market Hall it will also incorporate new court house facilities on the upper floors and underground parking below. It will also connect to the historic St. Lawrence Hall to the north. In preparation for demolition, archaeological reviews have taken place, unearthing evidence of the prior market buildings formerly on the site. For updates and a look at plans for the new building, check out the City of Toronto's website.
