Boston's public market houses were covered halls where city residents bought meat, produce, fish, and dry goods, often under one roof rather than from scattered stalls. Faneuil Hall, built in 1742, housed market stalls on its ground floor for much of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and the nearby Quincy Market, completed in 1826 and named for Mayor Josiah Quincy, extended that tradition into a long granite-faced building. Images like this one document how central these buildings were to daily commerce, and how the city's food supply moved through the same crowded streets as its wagons and pedestrians.
