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.^[2]

History

The station was built in 1871 by the Toronto and Nipissing Railway,^[3] 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^[4] 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.^{[citation needed]}

The city of Markham purchased the building as a Millennium project and are undertaking its restoration^[5] in conjunction with the Markham Village Conservancy, which manages the station.^[6] 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.^[7]

Markham Station does not have a bus terminal. Connecting bus services serve on-street stops in front of the station.
