The Elman W. Campbell Museum relocated to the former North York Registry Office in 1996. The building is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act and is the last remaining 19^th-century registry office from York County. Built in the formal Classical Revival style in 1884, the structure was designed to be fire-proof. It features two-foot-thick brick walls, a cut stone foundation and a slate roof. It is unique in having transverse vaults rather than a vault extending the length of the building. The museum is located on Main Street in historic downtown Newmarket.
