Saint John City Market

SAINT JOHN CITY MARKET
LE MARCHÉ DE SAINT JOHN

Built between 1874 and 1876, the Saint John City market
narrowly escaped the fire that swept through the town in
1877 and stands today as a rare and distinguished example
of a 19th century market building. Designed in the
Second Empire style by New Brunswick architects McKean
and Fairweather, the market building contains shops on
the ground level, offices above, and, through the passage-
way, a long, open market hall. An impressive feature of
the hall is the exposed timber framing, with its queen
post trusses supported by cast-iron columns. The market
has been in continuous use since its construction.
