First building in Yorkton, the J.W. Thornton Building. The business men at the old town-site realized that the village had little future with a railway being built three miles to the south. J.W. Thornton was the first to move. He built this building on Livingstone street and Market street in late 1888 or early '89.

Yorkton's First Fair - Robt. N. Taylor is seated in the front row, right, with hat in hand. The others seated include Joel Reaman and his three daughters. Three fiddlers are seen in the second row-not identified, but a fiddler was always a welcome guest at any gathering in the early days. The oxen seen were also a very necessary part of any gathering.
