Address: 16 Victoria Street
The William Macey House and Barn are located at 16 Victoria Street and offer significant context to Markham's early history. Standing on land originally purchased by William Macey, it was acquired in full by Jacob Rawn in 1803. The property was then purchased by William Gillard Hingston in 1849. Hingston was a blacksmith by trade and had also served in the York Militia for some time. When Victoria Square began to grow, Hingston split up his property in 1856 into different lots surrounding the newly created Victoria and Albert Streets. In 1860 this property was sold to William Macey, a labourer who is believed to have built this house. This typical vernacular Georgian cottage was originally a single-storey building that has since been modified to become a one-and-a-half storey building with the original barn being incorporated into the house. The house has a three bay faade with a low pitch roof and a saltbox addition that was built in 1920. Further modifications to this house include adding horizontal clapboard over top of original rough cast stucco. In 1998 the William Macey House and Barn became a designated heritage property under the Ontario Heritage Act.

S.S. # 11 Colty Corner's School is located at 10000 Kennedy Road. Colty Corner's is the oldest surviving schoolhouse in Markham, being built approximately 1862. Despite a quite large addition added onto this building, the schoolhouse preserves several of its original architectural features that were once common to schoolhouses constructed in the 19th century. These features include its bell tower, returned eaves, multi-paned windows and a Regency style front porch. The original building sits on a fieldstone foundation and is only one storey. The school's address has changed due to shifting property lines, changing from 4495 Major Mackenzie Drive East to 10000 Kennedy Road. This building is once again a school; a major addition was added to it within the past decade and it now serves as Angus Glen Montessori School. S.S. # 11 Colty Corner's School became a designated heritage property under the Ontario Heritage Act in 1983.

Address: 54 Cricklewood Crescent
Cricklewood at 54 Cricklewood Crescent remains one of the best examples of a Neo-Classical house in Markham. This two-storey red-brick house with a low-pitched hip roof was built approximately 1845 by John Brunskill, the owner and operator of the Pomona Mills in Thornhill. Brunskill purchased the land from Elizabeth Dennis, who was granted the land in 1803 as a daughter of a United Empire Loyalist. It was Dennis who gave the property the name of Cricklewood and it is believed that the rear portion of the house was built by Dennis and her husband Matthias Saunders. The house has a five-bay faade with windows placed symmetrically around a central door. The front entrance is one of the most important features of the house with a transom, sidelights, fluted pilasters on either side, a detailed architrave above and a flat roofed portico supported by four columns. Cricklewood shows the wealth and position a miller could reach in a young settler community, just as Brunskill did. In 1981 Cricklewood became a designated heritage property under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Address: 10271 Woodbine Avenue, moved to 37 Artisan Trail
The original portion of the Peter Rumohr Jr. House at 37 Artisan Trail is an excellent example of a simple style farmhouse that has greatly evolved over time. This house is believed to have been constructed in approximately 1855 by Peter Rumohr Jr., a farmer. Additional evidence for this mid-century construction date comes from the presence of early rough-hewn beams and wide boards in the basement. Peter Rumohr Jr. was the great-grandson of Marcus Rumohr, who was among the first settlers that accompanied William Berczy to Markham in 1794. John William Neuschultz received the patent to this property from the Crown in 1808. The land was farmed by different individuals over the years and was eventually sold to Peter Rumhr in 1830. This one-and-a-half storey Georgian-style house was originally clad in wood or stucco, which now has concrete bricks applied to the exterior sometime in the 20th century. The house forms part of the greater community of Victoria Square and is one of the last remaining rural farmhouses that once existed in this area. This house became a designated heritage property in 2002 under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Address: 8042 Reesor Road
The Captain Robert Reesor House is a picturesque one-and-a-half storey farmhouse built in 1867 and located at 8042 Reesor Road. The lot was originally a clergy reserve and it was not until 1876 that Robert Reesor purchased the south east portion 50 acres and part of the west half 50 acres. The house was built prior to Robert obtaining title to the property. The Classic Ontario style blends elements of Gothic and Classic Revival detail. These details are seen on this house through the large Gothic window under the front gable and the Classic Revival detail work around the front door. The Reesor family was one of the earliest families to settle in Markham Township, and Robert Reesor himself spent his entire life in Cedar Grove. Reesor received military training in Toronto and Kingston and was a Captain in the 12th York Rangers who participated in the American rebel-led Fenian Raids along the US-Canada Border in the 1840s. The Captain Robert Reesor House has significance due to its association with the early rural agricultural community in Cedar Grove and in 2004, became a designated heritage property under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Built approximately 1829, the Stiver Philip Eckardt House is thought to be the oldest remaining dwelling in Unionville. The structure was built for a member of the Eckardt family, one of the first families to settle in the Town of Markham. The Stiver family, descendants from Markham's original settlers lived in the home and passed it down from generation to generation. The building is a good representation of a Regency cottage, often called the Ontario Cottage style. The symmetrical three-bay faade is flanked by Venetian windows with sidelights and the neo-classical entryway is centrally located with a shelf entablature and four fluted pilasters. One significant feature of the house is the mud bricks of which it was constructed. These types of bricks were made from the clay removed in the excavations for the basement. Mixed with water and wheat straw, they were put into forms and left to harden in the sun. Since this type of brick would disintegrate on contact with water, the buildings of this kind were typically decorated with wide, overhanging eaves. The Stiver Philip Eckardt House remains at 206 Main Street, Unionville and became a designated heritage property in 1978 under the Ontario Heritage Act.

The John Edey House at 4 Leahill Drive was designed and built by master builder John Edey for his personal residence. Edey is well-known as he designed a number of buildings in York Region. Built in 1845 on the west side of Yonge Street at Old Jane Street, this one-and-a-half storey, stucco-clad house is an excellent example of the Regency Classical Revival Style and is said to be an icon of pre-confederation architecture in Ontario. The Edey family continued to occupy this house until the 1930s. In 1966 this house was relocated to 4 Leahill Drive to preserve it from demolition and it went through a large restoration under the supervision of Napier B. Simpson. The Edey house remains a historical and architectural landmark in Markham and became a designated heritage property in 1978 under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Address: 7297 Reesor Road
The David Lapp House and Barn at 7297 Reesor Road was constructed in 1859 as a one-and-a-half storey vernacular Georgian frame house that has since been reduced in size. David Lapp inherited a portion of Lot 2 on Concession 10 from his father, Henry Lapp, upon his passing in 1842. In 1859 Lapp purchased a section of Lot 3, Concession 10, to add to his portion of Lot 2 and to continue operating the sawmill he constructed on this land. David sold this property to his brother Joseph in 1860 for $3,400, but he continued to live in the house. Joseph farmed the land and grew seed grain that was sold locally and to commercial mills. David Lapp was one of the local millers and carpenters and his brother Joseph became a wealthy farmer. When Joseph died, the property was left to his children. This house serves as a good example of the simple tastes and functional style of the early agricultural community within early Markham's Cedar Grove. Descendants of the Lapp family continue to live in the Cedar Grove area. Evelyn Lapp Wittamore, who was born in the David Lapp house, continued to farm the property on lots 1, 2, and 3, concession 10 that is close to her family's original farm. In 2003 the David Lapp House and Barn became a designated heritage property under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Address: 124 Main Street, Unionville
The William Eckardt House at 124 Main Street Unionville offers significant cultural value to the community of Unionville. The Eckardt family played a significant role in early Unionville history. Philip Eckardt was one of the original Pennsylvanian-German Berczy settlers who came to Markham in 1794. Philip's son, Gottlieb Eckardt operated a brick wheelwright and sawmill in Unionville. Gottlieb is notable for his involvement in the 1837 Upper Canada Rebellion, where he marched with William Lyon Mackenzie and the rebels to York Toronto and was subsequently jailed. It was Gottlieb's son, William, who constructed this house. William was a mechanic, miller, farmer and an auctioneer who operated a pump factory in Unionville and was influential in bringing the railway to Unionville. William tried to establish a mass residential development on his property, but without success. In 1849 William Eckardt travelled to California during the Gold Rush of 1849, but returned to Markham by 1852. In 1853 Eckardt purchased a 100-acre parcel of land from King's College and built this house in 1856. This one-and-a-half storey bricked house was the first house in Unionville to be built with brick from the Snowball brickyard. Snowball Brickyard was active in Unionville during the early 19th century and supplied the Markham community. The William Eckardt House became a designated heritage property in 1978 under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Address: 8965 Woodbine Avenue
The Edward Pease House is located at 8965 Woodbine Avenue. This house was built approximately 1850 and considered one of the earliest houses in the hamlet of Buttonville. Built on land originally acquired by John Button, founder of Buttonville, Elihu Edward Pease purchased this property in 1850. Pease sold this property to Christopher Harrison in 1856, who then sold it to David Steinhoff six months later. Due to the increase in property value from Pease and Steinhoff it is likely that the house was constructed before Steinhoff acquired the property in 1856. This one-and-a-half storey Georgian frame cottage housed the Steinhoff family who made numerous additions to the house. At some point politician Charles Hooper, Buttonville's most famous resident and who was Warden of the County of York in 1947, lived at this house. In the late 1990s the Pease house was restored and used as a sales office. In 1998 the Edward Pease House became a designated heritage property under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Address: 25 Fairway Heights Drive
The John Cameron Jr. House is located at 25 Fairway Heights Drive. This one-and-a-half storey frame house is the last historic residence that overlooks a former mill site and the City of Markham's Settler's Park. Constructed in 1850 with a simple rectangular plan, this house rests close to grade level on a fieldstone foundation that provides the house with a full basement and is clad in wood board and batten. The John Cameron Jr. House was constructed in a simple vernacular Georgian design, which is common for its 1850 construction date. This property was originally leased from the Crown by John Cameron in 1812. Most traces of the old German Mills community that this house belonged to have been removed due to intense suburban development that occurred in the 1980s, but this house along with the German Mills Schoolhouse remains as a reminder of the community. The John Cameron Jr. House became a designated heritage property in 2005 under the Ontario Heritage Act.

The Bethesda Lutheran Church at 20 Union Street is known as the first Christian Church built in Markham. This congregation has been gathering since 1794, and this church has served the congregation in three different forms since 1820. Elements from all three structures are present in the current building; the original timber from the 1820 church was used in the creation of the bricked church in 1862, which was relocated in 1910 to its current location on Union Street. The Bethesda Lutheran Church was originally named St. Philips Lutheran Church. St. Philips was first organized in 1794 when the congregation met in Philip Eckardt's home until a timber frame church could be constructed in 1820. During the 1837 Upper Canada Rebellion, a disagreement between the congregation and their minister resulted in his removal. When parliament sided with the minister, the congregation renamed themselves the Bethesda Lutheran Church. Bethesda Lutheran Church is a landmark in the Markham community for both its deep history in the region as well as its architectural value as a Rural Gothic Revival building. As a result, the Bethesda Lutheran Church became a designated heritage property under the Ontario Heritage Act in 1990.

David Burke, an Irish immigrant, received the Crown patent for this property in 1838 and built his house approximately 1851. This two storey multi-coloured fieldstone house is uniquely designed in historic Markham. The remainders of the Venetian windows on the ground floor of the house are uncommon in Markham for a farmhouse built in this period making it noteworthy.

The Mill Workers Double Cottage at 37 and 39 Colbourne Street were built by Thomas Hamhill, a Thornhill carpenter, approximately 1850. This building was at some point divided into two cottages and was built most likely to serve as rental housing for workers employed in nearby mills on the Don River. The low one-and-a-half storey roughcast stucco finish and simple Classic Revival design are typical features for tradesmen dwellings in old Ontario mill villages. The centre door flanked by a pair of windows is characteristic of the Georgian style of many local buildings from the mid-19th century. This property is notable due to it being one of the few historical homes in Markham retaining so many of their original characteristics. According to local legend, part of the original joined building was used as a rope factory and the other portion used as a home; however, there is no evidence to support this claim. The Mill Workers Double Cottage became a designated heritage property in 1978 under the Ontario Heritage Act.

The Joseph Marr house offers historical richness to the Markham community, acting as a reminder of its United Empire Loyalists settler roots. This one-and-a-half storey vernacular Georgian building is constructed of local Markham brick and consists of a rectangular plan. It was originally built on land received by the Marr family in 1809 located at 8992 Reesor Road, gifted by the Crown when they remained loyal to the British during the American Revolution. The Joseph Marr House was built in 1848 and in 1857 he sold the property to Christian Reesor, a prominent local landowner and it remained in the Reesor family until 1920. The house was moved in 2005 to 3 Heritage Corners Lane in the Markham Heritage Estates due to the construction of what was historically known as the Markham Bypass now known as York Regional Road 48, the Donald Cousens Parkway. In 2011 the Joseph Marr House became a designated heritage property under the Ontario Heritage Act.

The Raymer Cheese Factory at 233 Main Street Unionville serves as an important historic Unionville landmark in Markham. Built approximately 1859, this vertical groove clad house presents a good example of a Picturesque Ontario vernacular house. This building was owned by the Raymer family, and housed the Raymer Cheese Factory, operated between 1870 and 1874by John Noble Raymer and his brother Martin. The Raymers were prominent members of the Markham Mennonite community and their building was simple and modest in design reflective of their Mennonite beliefs. John Raymer died from smallpox in 1874 when he was 38, which ended the expansion of the Raymer Cheese business. This building is reflective of the period's rapid commercial development that took place in Unionville following 1870 and in 1990 the Raymer Cheese Factory became a designated heritage property under the Ontario Heritage Act.
