Loyal Orange Lodge
(c. 1855) 47 Queen Street S.
Streetsville was once aptly described as the “hotbed of Orangeism” in Peel. William and John Graydon built this meeting hall for the Orangemen. The two-storey, gable-roofed rectangular building features the dichromatic brickwork seen in many public buildings of the era. Its imposing appearance, with heavy cornice and decorative details is evidence of the importance of the organization within the community.

Trinity Anglican Church
(c. 1841) 69 Queen Street S.
Reverend Robert Macgeorge was not only the first Rector of the newly formed Anglican congregation but also the first editor of the village newspaper. The cornerstone for the church was laid in 1842 by Bishop Strachan and the bricks used in its construction were donated by “Commodore” Henry Rutledge and made from the clay on his farm. The Bamford brothers, members of the congregation, were contracted to build the tower addition in 1876. Parish Hall additions were added to the south in 1931 and in the 1960s. On April 26th, 1998 the original church burned. The congregation built a new building which opened in 2000, incorporating some of the features of the historic church.

William Graydon Sr., a stonemason, built this house for William Jr. and wife Elizabeth Wright. The small brick garage was William Jr.’s shoemaking shop. In 1910, a Chinese laundryman, Joe Cong, was murdered in this building. For many decades, the property was home to the Farrell family. The exterior of the building has been painted, hiding the red brick.
