Toronto’s Percy Street also known as the “Republic of Percy”, is a private street in historic Corktown. In the early 1800’s Corktown was settled by working class immigrants, many from County Cork, Ireland.  These residents worked for the Don Valley Brick Works and Gooderham and Worts distillery. The average house is 13.

Formerly the Kent County Courthouse, which was originally constructed in 1804 was repurposed as the East Greenwich Town Hall in 1974. Located at 125 Main Street, the yellow and white Colonial Revival style building, is one of the largest on the street.
