Heggie Block
Historic Sites
This impressive buff brick building was constructed around 1860 in the French Second Empire style, distinguished by its bell cast shaped Mansard roof and arched windows. In 1897 the building was sold to Doctor David Heggie, who used the building as his office and residence. Doctor Heggie was the local coroner and physician for the County Jail. It is said that a holding cell with iron bars was erected in the basement to hold prisoners awaiting treatment. The Brampton municipal offices moved into the building about 1911 and remained there until 1965.
