Address: 206 Main Street
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.

Address: 8992 Reesor Road, moved to 3 Heritage Corners Lane
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.

Address: 233 Main Street, Unionville
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.

Address: 9001 Woodbine Avenue
The Jackson Willmott House was built approximately 1865 at 9001 Woodbine Avenue and is considered one the earliest houses still standing in the historic hamlet of Buttonville. Built in 1810 on property originally acquired by John Button, the famed founder of Buttonville, Jackson Willmott purchased this land in 1856 for 10 pounds. This one-and-a-half storey Georgian frame cottage has been altered in recent years, but it still retains its original characteristics and showcases the simple functional tastes of early European pioneers in Markham. During the 1950s this house was clad in insul-brick material made to look like real brick with insulation value until more recent owners undertook a restoration to revert it to its original appearance of horizontal clapboard. The Jackson Willmott House became a designated heritage property under the Ontario Heritage Act in 1999.

Address: 7218 Reesor Road
The David Whaley House at 7218 Reesor Road is important to the historic settlement pattern of Cedar Grove while also acting as one of the last reminders of the historic mill. This house was built on land gifted to Thomas Whaley from the British Crown in the early 1800s. The property was later divided between Thomas' two sons, Alexander and David Whaley. On David Whaley's eastern portion of the property stood both a sawmill and a millpond, where a bridge is now located. It was on this portion of the land that David Whaley built his house in approximately 1835. The house is believed to originally be a one-and-a-half storey, three-bay Georgian frame cottage. Significant modifications were applied to the original house in the mid-20th century. The house's historical foundation is seen today through the architectural form of the front portion of the house, the partial fieldstone foundation, and the original floorboards inside. The David Whaley House became a designated heritage property in 2004 under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Address: 4165 19th Avenue
The John Klein/James Bowman House at 4165 19th Avenue was built in 1844 and provides significant historical context for its association with the early Village of Almira. Built on land originally owned by Mathias Klein, John Klein inherited this land in 1844 and built this one-and-a-half storey frame house with a distinctive mill worker's cottage silhouette. The house as it stands now provides a well preserved example of a Georgian cottage, standing at five-bays across and two-bays deep. Klein sold this house to Benjamin Bowman in 1857 for 1,250 pounds, who owned the Almira Flour and Woolen Mill across the street and served as Almira's first postmaster. Bowman used this house as living space for himself and his family as well as housing millworkers. This house was also later occupied by Bowman's son, James Bowman, who operated a grocery and general store. The John Klein/James Bowman House became a designated heritage property in 2003 under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Address: 7632 Highway 7 East
The Reesor Tenant House stands at 7632 7 Highway East as a reminder of Markham's agricultural roots. This house is also telling of the vast land holdings the Reesor family held in Markham in the 19th century. The lot was purchased in 1830 by Abraham Reesor and it has been passed down to other Reesor family members over the years. Constructed in 1860, the building was originally a one-and-a-half storey Georgian cottage with Classic Revival features that had a one-and-a-half storey addition added to the rear. Clad in vertical wood plank and sitting on a fieldstone foundation, this house provides contextual significance for the surrounding village of Locust Hill. The Reesors themselves did not actually live on this property, but instead rented it out to a series of farmers. The last Reesor tenant was Jonathan Jarvis who then purchased the farm. The Reesor Tenant House became a designated heritage property in 2004 under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Address: 6066 Elgin Mills Road East
The Joseph Barkey Farmhouse at 6066 Elgin Mills Road East is notable for its fieldstone construction. The German-Mennonite Barkey family emigrated from Pennsylvania sometime between 1802 and 1815, integrating well into the Mennonite community already growing in Markham. The Barkey family went on to be successful farmers highly involved in the Mennonite Church, in particular the Wideman Mennonite Church. Constructed in 1864, this house remains as one of the few 19th century stone dwellings in Markham, and is of importance due to its excellent masonry of evenly split fieldstones on the front faade as well as the eastern addition. The remaining facades also are constructed of fieldstone, but of irregular shape and size. The western addition was added at a later date designed to provide a separate dwelling for Barkey's grandparents. Joseph's second daughter Mary married Tillman Reesor in 1880 and they lived on the property until Reesor's death in 1886. The Farmhouse stayed in the Barkey Reesor family for five generations and occupied the property for more than 170 years. The Joseph Barkey Farmhouse became a designated heritage property in 1994 under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Address: Buttonville Lot 13, Conc. 4, moved to 1 Millbrook Gate
The John Stiver House at 1 Millbrook Gate offers an excellent example of a vernacular Georgian frame cottage from the mid-19th century in the hamlet of Buttonville. Originally located on Lot 13 of Concession 4 slightly south on Woodbine from where it is located now, this one-and-a-half storey cottage is constructed of wood and has a medium-pitched gable end roof. The John Stiver house was constructed approximately 1850 by John Stiver Jr., son of Pennsylvanian-German Berczy settler John Nicholas Stiver, who is considered the first child of European origin to be born in Markham. John Stiver Jr. was given a portion of Lot 13 from Captain G. Schuetze when Stiver married his daughter, Mary Anne, where he then built a log cabin that his family lived in until the frame cottage that stands now was constructed. In the 1980s this house was moved slightly north to its present location to protect it from demolition. In 1998 the John Stiver House became a designated heritage property under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Address: 7134 Major Mackenzie Drive East
The John B. Miller House at 7134 Major Mackenzie Drive East represents not just a rare example of a fieldstone bank house in Markham but also of a house constructed to fit within a natural slope. This Georgian vernacular fieldstone dwelling was constructed approximately 1855 and is situated on the north side of Major Mackenzie Drive East. This house is unique as it fits into a natural slope so that from the western end it appears to be a one-and-a-half storey house, but it is two-and-a-half storeys from the eastern end. The distinctive white quoin treatment around the window and door openings is a Scottish detail, which suggests a Scottish connection to this house's construction. John B. Miller was the son of American immigrants, Jacob Miller and Phoebe Gould, who settled in Markham in 1796. The Miller family included both farmers and founding members of the Ninth Line Baptist Church. In 2012 the John B. Miller House became a designated heritage property under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Address: 7706 and 7708 Kennedy Road, changed to 7710 Kennedy Road
The Benjamin Milliken House is located at 7710 Kennedy Road. This house provides both significant cultural and historical context to what remains of the hamlet of Hagerman Corners. This three-bay front faade, two-storey bricked house was built approximately 1855 by Major Benjamin Milliken in a Georgian traditional style The house was originally listed as 7706/7708 Kennedy Road but has changed to 7710 Kennedy Road over the years. Milliken leased the property for many years before purchasing 100 acres of the east portion of Lot 5, Concession 5 in 1853. Both its quality of design and workmanship along with its full two storeys indicates Milliken's stature in the community. Milliken is significant for his military career; he served in the York Militia during the War of 1812 and again during the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837. Milliken was involved in the local community as he was both an active supporter by providing land for the local school as well as the host for many agricultural fairs on his farm during the 1860s. After being vacant for numerous years, this house was restored and then converted into a pub and restaurant. The Benjamin Milliken House is one of only six heritage buildings known to belong to and remain in the area of the former hamlet of Hagerman Corners, and in 1994 it became a designated heritage property under the Ontario Heritage Act.
