Fergus Market
Near the Little Falls
On the banks of the beautiful Grand River is the Fergus Market building; after major renovations and changing of the concept from market to a marketplace, this building is now called Fergus Marketplace with full-time retail shops. But many people still refer to it is the Fergus Market.
It is near the spot where the waterfalls used to be that gave Fergus its initial name of "Little Falls".
The Market is housed in an historic building, one of many in this
charming Scottish Ontario town.
The building was built in the 1870's, as a factory. In 1876 it was bought by the Beatty Brothers to operate a foundry and machine shop in; the Beatty Brothers Farm Implement Manufacturing building. Business was good, and in 1880 a three-storey addition was built, on the corner of Queen Street and St. David Street.
Early in the 20th century the Beatty Brothers expanded the plant with a one-story extension featuring a unique saw tooth roof line. These beautiful stone buildings still remain part of the Fergus Market building today.
