Two men study a rendering of the planned New York City Terminal Market at Hunts Point, a drawing of a complex that did not yet exist when it was made. The city built the wholesale market on a peninsula in the Bronx to replace the crowded Washington Market in lower Manhattan, where trucks and produce had long snarled the streets. When it opened in the late 1960s, it became one of the largest food distribution centers in the country, bringing fruit, vegetable, meat and fish wholesalers together in one place. The drawing shows how planners hoped roads, loading docks and buildings would work as a single system.
