Dr. John Doherty 22

  
Community Markham
Year Constructed:  1880
Address: 34-36 Main Street North
This Ontario Vernacular home with Italianate features was built circa 1880 served as both a residence and a drugstore for Dr. John Doherty. William Fleming purchased the building in 1887 and again, it was both his home and place of business. William, and later his son, Robert, sold pianos, organs and sewing machines. William was also the Canadian checker champion from 1868 to 1890. His memorial stone in St. Andrew's Cemetery (east of Main St. on the south of Hwy 7) has been inscribed with a checkerboard.
