Built in 1859-1860 by architect William Hay[1] and his apprentice Henry Langley, the three-storey building also served as an omnibus stop.
The building served as the town hall until 1883, when Yorkville was annexed into Toronto.
The building then became known as St. Paul's Hall and had a public library, along with various clubs and community uses.
The site is now home to a condominium building and is across the street from the Toronto Reference Library.
The fire hall is located at 34 Yorkville Avenue and has been historically protected by the City of Toronto, after being designated as a heritage property in the City of Toronto Heritage Property Inventory on June 20, 1973.
