Market Square Heritage Conservation District

Summary
At the core of Kingston’s historic downtown is the Market Square Heritage Conservation District – an area defined by a fine collection of 19th and 20th buildings encircling a the city market square. The District, originally written by Lily Inglis and Harold Kalman, is one of the earliest commercial heritage conservation districts in Ontario. The District Plan serves to protect the heritage character of this active public space and cultural tourism destination.
E.R.A. was retained by the City of Kingston to update the existing Market Square Heritage Conservation District Plan to align with current heritage and planning policy and allow for the ongoing preservation of this unique place.
