The market is currently housed  in a Second Empire building completed in 1876. The building was built by unemployed ship carpenters. It is very unique. The roof resembles a inverted ship’s keel and  the floor slopes with the natural grade of the land. It  is also connected to the city’s indoor pedway system.

Terrific photos of color and texture.  The fresh produce is appetizingly displayed.
