Description
English: The St. Andrew's Market building on Adelaide Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

In 1837, a city block was set aside for a public market, the third of its kind after the St. Lawrence Market and the St. Patrick's Market. This Market was built in 1850 and eventually named "St. Andrew's" after its city ward. It served as an important commercial center for what was then Toronto's west end.

A fire in 1860 destroyed the first market buildings. They were replaced in 1873 by a larger St. Andrew's Hall and Market. The replaced buildings were designed in Renaissance Revival style. The building housed a police station, a community hall, a public library branch, sellers of fresh produce, and even butchers.

In the 1870's, St. Andrew's Market began to lose some of its relevancy as a commercial hub. In 1889, an impressive addition was added, however by 1900 the market stalls were mostly empty. The buildings were demolished in 1932.

Today, the site is used for a water works building. The park immediately to the south, established in the 1880s, has been known as "St. Andrew's Playground" since 1909.

In 2010, a Saturday-morning farmers' market was established, using the parking lot of the water works building. The farmers' market is known as the St. Andrew's Market, after its historic predecessor.
