Description
This
image
is
a
view
of
Findlay
Market
,
located
at the
corner
of
Race
and
Elder
Streets
,
Cincinnati
,
Ohio
.
Visible

photograph
are a
vendor’s
table
,

crates
,

, and
nearby

.
Findlay
Market
is
the
state’s
oldest
surviving
municipal
market
and also the
sole
survivor
among
nine
such
institutions
operating
in
Cincinnati
in the
19th
and
early
20th
century
. The
market
was
erected
in
1852
, but
disputes
with
contractors
and
difficulties
correcting
problems
with the
new
construction
methods
delayed
its
opening
until
1855
.
It
was
built
on
land
donated
to the
City
of
Cincinnati
by the
estate
of
General
James
Findlay
(1770–1835)
and
Jane
Irwin
Findlay
(1769–1851)
.
Findlay
Market
was
designed
using
a
durable
but
unconventional
cast-
and
wrought-iron
frame
, a
construction
technology
that had been
little
used
in the
United
States
. The
structure
was
among
the
first
markets
in the
United
States
to
use
iron-frame
construction
technology
and
is
one
of
very
few
to have
survived
.
Findlay
Market
is
listed
on the
National
Register
of
Historic
Places
.
