The title points to one of the market houses at Diamond Square in Pittsburgh, a downtown site where the city's public markets once gathered. Market houses of this kind were typically covered sheds or buildings where growers from the surrounding countryside sold produce, dairy, meat, and other goods to city residents. Their layout and the wagons and stalls around them show how closely urban food supply depended on nearby farms. Pictures like this one are useful for seeing how commerce between town and country was organized before supermarkets.
