Public markets
I would like to see pictures of public markets around the world. I'm specifically interested in the buildings (as opposed to the things for sale).
Here are a couple in Washington, DC: Eastern Market: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5175/...e8ea5012_b.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5218/...9b6d2569_b.jpg O Street Market: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/154/4...f6b_z.jpg?zz=1 source: flickr user MV Jantzen O Street is being redeveloped. The old Market will become a big grocery store. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_HC0tnd5Zsd...South+Wall.jpg source: DCmud |
Here are a couple from Philadelphia:
Reading Terminal Market: Occupies part of an old train station. http://www.bridgeandtunnelclub.com/b...t/10market.jpg source: bridgeandtunnelclub.com Italian Market: Not a building per se, but a street that acts as a market. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2719/...c4319fbc_o.jpg |
Another one of my favorites is West Side Market in Cleveland:

The Grove Arcade Public Market in -- where else -- Asheville, NC:

It sells rocks and minerals. http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/b...0812200814.jpg http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/b...0812200811.jpg http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/b...0812200812.jpg |
St. Louis
Union Market, as you can see, it has changed...I think it operated in somewhat of its original capacity into the 80s. Circa 1924. http://img.groundspeak.com/waymarkin...b4a5abea20.jpg http://img.groundspeak.com/waymarkin...b4a5abea20.jpg http://img.groundspeak.com/waymarkin...dea88cf8e3.jpg http://img.groundspeak.com/waymarkin...dea88cf8e3.jpg Soulard Market, the building is of 1920s vintage but the market location dates from a lot earlier. I don't buy 1779, I think it's actually 1840s, but who knows. It's a down and dirty (i hope not too dirty) solid, classic city market, complete with a horrible website, saturday morning crowds and beer drinkers, and a mishmash of vendors ranging from marginal to awesome. It has open air and semi enclosed wings and an interior area in the middle (exterior pictured) with hotdog/beer vendors, meat counters, etc. The center is a little fancy on the outside, the rest is pretty utilitarian. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qEKxifgbhQ...00/soulard.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qEKxifgbhQ...00/soulard.jpg http://jeffreycarter.files.wordpress...ard-market.jpg http://jeffreycarter.files.wordpress...ard-market.jpg http://rick.lefey.org/wp-content/gal...-market-03.jpg http://rick.lefey.org/wp-content/gal...-market-03.jpg |
St. Roch Market, New Orleans
Built in 1875, extensively renovated in 1937 by the WPA. Subsequently converted to a privately-owned seafood market (Lama's), then a restaurant, now abandoned. The city's always owned the building, and renovation keeps being promised by politicians. There's still some Katrina CDBG money sitting aside for the project. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4145/...078bc90e_z.jpg flickr/infrogmation http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3456/...49dbdca8_o.jpg flickr/jstratton French Market, New Orleans Rebuilt and renovated several times since its founding in 1791. The current structures are an amalgam of 1830s and 1930s construction, and they were recently renovated by Billes Architecture in 2008-9. Buildings across the street still perform a commercial market function, selling to restaurants and groceries, while the sheds themselves are more touristy, with open-air tables and full stalls for food service. (The stall walls are made of translucent Kalwall, which is pretty nice. Couldn't find a pic.) http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2561/...d0d8108e_z.jpg flickr/g. bugel http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3409/...f6a81285_z.jpg flickr/ninnianne |
Cool idea for a thread, Cirrus.
Meadville, PA Public Market Built in 1870. Pennsylvania's oldest market house in continual use. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/48/11...aa6_z.jpg?zz=1 http://www.flickr.com/photos/lotterymonkey/ http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2182/...8083b759_z.jpg http://www.flickr.com/photos/28096981@N00/ |
Mercado Municipal de Sao Paulo

This place was really cool... great food options and a nice 2nd story dining area with sit-down restaurants where you can watch the activity on the floor below. Just a little bit more impressive than the Meadville Market House. ;) |
very beautiful pics

Cincinnati has numerous public markets, but the oldest being Findlay Market which is a series of linear market buildings in between Italianate structures which are also part of the market:
The newer building (which replaced some older building --> http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4062/...a975cae40a.jpg which replaced some older building which...) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...Cincinnati.JPG http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...Cincinnati.JPG http://timandjo.covblogs.com/Findlay%20Market.JPG http://timandjo.covblogs.com/Findlay%20Market.JPG An older market building: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1358/...b94d94b30b.jpg http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1358/...b94d94b30b.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...y-Market-2.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...y-Market-2.jpg Downtown Cincinnati has a market called Court Street Market and I believe it's the second oldest in the city: http://wwwdelivery.superstock.com/WI...2022-Z349C.jpg http://wwwdelivery.superstock.com/WI...2022-Z349C.jpg http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UHXbhyJwAp...t+%2818%29.jpg http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UHXbhyJwAp...t+%2818%29.jpg There are other markets like Pleasant Ridge, Northside, etc but these two are the most locally famous. _________________________________________________________________________ For Columbus, the North Market is by far the most prominent, right on the edge of downtown. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2371/...d4d52c6d95.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2371/...d4d52c6d95.jpg http://ohiohauntedplaces.com/images/northmarket.jpg http://ohiohauntedplaces.com/images/northmarket.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2431/...2c0702158d.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2431/...2c0702158d.jpg _________________________________________________________________________ Dayton has two markets side-by-side, the Webster Station Market and the Second Street Market. Both buildings are nearly identical and function as bookends of a larger gathering space between the two. Both are in former railyards. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2569/...9563ef5286.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2569/...9563ef5286.jpg http://soniarevankar.files.wordpress...pg?w=448&h=336 http://soniarevankar.files.wordpress...pg?w=448&h=336 http://www.agreeneryou.net/second-st...arket-450w.jpg http://www.agreeneryou.net/second-st...arket-450w.jpg |
Milwaukee Public Market:

Russian Market in Phnom Penh. This huge, yellow painted concrete structure is market both inside and out. Its hard to get the scale of it. Its actually an X shaped building with a central dome.

Phoenix's public market like most things in PHX is very new. Its quite small currently, but its growing rapidly and is very popular. Its primarily outdoors under temporary pop up tents, its on Wednesday nights and Saturdays. But the small permanent market is open 6 days a week. They've been trying to raise money for a permanent shaded outdoor space but the economy has put a cramp on that.
http://shuttermike.com/wp-content/up...lic-market.jpg Photo of exterior from Shutter Mike.com http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/3...cmarket004.jpg http://www.azcentral.com/ent/calenda...s/13118VEN.jpg http://i.imgur.com/7jZ34.jpg The Salt River Valley once being a huge agricultural area meant Downtown PHX used to have a huge produce warehouse section. The remnants of this area still exist though the produce warehouses are long gone, sadly. Local developer Michael Levine has bought and is rehabbing the old "Phoenix Seed and Feed" warehouse and is trying to redevelop it into a farmers market. Its this old building which sits near the PHX Suns arena: http://www.modernphoenix.net/images/...ng2010_030.jpg Its sad to think that what was once basically an entire neighborhood of produce warehouses, markets, groceries, etc is now parking lots and empty buildings. Phoenix even once had a bustling Chinatown down in the same area but it was destroyed by the Suns arena. |
Winston-Salem's City Market (Downtown Market) Built in 1925
Northup and O'Brien, architects 601 N. Cherry St., Winston-Salem, NC http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/1...itymarket1.jpg http://img860.imageshack.us/img860/2...citymarket.jpg Source: Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Public Library (Above) A view of the City Market when it first opened. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/...65011668_z.jpg Source (Above) An expansion was built on the back of the market, but it was destroyed by fire in 1959. This is why the back entrance has an unusual appearance. The building was restored in 1993 and is both a City Market (lower floors) and Elementary School (top floor) in the public school system. I think the school is moving to a new three storey building in the Downtown Arts District? http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3639/...f5c9f417_z.jpg Source (Above) A photo of the building's outdoor stalls during the Bookmarks Festival. Cobblestone Market (Below) Built in 1910 There's also a Cobblestone Market in downtown Winston-Salem. Their building was built in 1910, but they are moving the market from their building to an outdoor site. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2024/...986_z.jpg?zz=1 Another Winston-Salem market is located on the Fairgrounds, but the building isn't architecturally interesting. |
great idea for a thread!
i spent a very enjoyable week in the twin cities last winter and they have two interesting public markets: st. paul has the hmong market, which is located in the out buildings of what looked like an old lumber yard: http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/P1220385.jpg http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/P1220391.jpg http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/P1220390.jpg and i have no idea what goes on in the upper floors, offices i suppose, but on the ground level minneapolis has a market in the iconic midtown exchange building: http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/P1210889.jpg http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/P1210887.jpg among scandanavian, viet, mexican and other things -- somali fast food http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/P1210891.jpg http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/P1210890.jpg |
