Markham GO Station is a railway station on the GO Transit Stouffville line network located on Markham Main Street North in Markham, Ontario in Canada.[3]
The station was built in 1871 by the Toronto and Nipissing Railway,[4] 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[5] by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada.
The station design is based on a classic Canadian Railway Style with elements of the Vernacular-Carpenter Gothic architecture of the mid-19th century in Ontario.
The city of Markham purchased the building as a Millennium project and are undertaking its restoration[6] in conjunction with the Markham Village Conservancy, which manages the station.[7] In addition to facilities for GO Transit, the building is used as a community centre, with two rooms that have a capacity of 30 and 100 people, respectively, which are available for rental.[8]
Markham Station does not have a bus terminal. Connecting bus services serve on-street stops in front of the station on Markham Main Street.
