An old movie theatre that now hosts plays and concerts. It's architecturally unique as one of the last "atmospheric" theatres in Canada. The walls and ceiling are painted to give the effect that the audience is sitting outside in a medieval courtyard. The lobby also retains the Art Deco elements that were popular when the theatre was built. Reviewers indicate the sight lines are good and there isn't a bad seat in the theatre.
Built 1851-53, this classic-looking town hall has a clock in the cupola on the roof.
This brightly coloured, former hotel was built circa 1855 to serve the passengers of the now defunct Midland Railway. The centre door area used to be carriageway.
Built circa 1874, this former institutional building has a somewhat church-like appearance.
Built circa 1857, this former bank building is almost square and is an example of Italianate architecture.
This small station building was built circa 1855 for a whistle stop along the former Port Hope, Lindsay and Beaverton Railway. It was moved from its original location. It is not the same as today's Via Rail station, located at the western end of Hayward Street, which is also a heritage building.
Cute 1½-storey Gothic cottage.
This duplex house built circa 1876 in the second empire style has two symetrical, 2-storey bay windows.
Canada House
Built as an inn circa 1800, it features a second-floor veranda over a sunroom facing the lake.
This narrow brick church was built in 1855. The sanctuary, the choir loft and two spires were added in 1869.
This Gothic-style, buff-brick, gable-roofed church was built in 1867. The copper spire roof was last replaced in 1964.
Completed in 1869, this church is in the Gothic revival style with stained glass windows made in England.
The church was dedicated in 1875 by Methodists who joined in 1925 with Unionist Presbyterians to form the United Church.
Completed in 1906, the church is in Richardsonian Romanesque Revival Style with two square towers of different height and arced recess entrances.
Little café with a small lunch menu, some very rich desserts and a fairly usual mix of hot and cold drinks. The main entrance is a bit dark, but the side room is brighter and shows off some of the Victorian styling of the building. The most notable dishes are the lobster bisque and the Crazy Cookie - a sweet mix of cookie, chocolate and caramel -- it's quite popular although a little too sweet for some.
10-room hotel that was first constructed in 1857 as a bank branch.
