Markham Realty builds a one-story freight terminal at 52 Laight Street
Augustus N. Allen designed this red-brick freight terminal in 1919 for the Markham Realty Corporation. The company built an industrial workshop at 11-13 Leonard Street the following year. The terminal's central vehicle opening was enlarged in 1944. It replaced a two-and-one-half-story brick dwelling, and was itself an earlier building on the site.
