Jefferson Market stands at the head of Sixth Avenue in Greenwich Village, and its distinctive Victorian Gothic tower, with its clock and pointed roofs, is what sets this view apart from the many other market scenes in the collection. The building was designed by Frederick Clarke Withers and Calvert Vaux and completed in 1877 as a courthouse, with a produce market on the ground floor. Markets of this kind were once central to neighborhood life in Manhattan, and this one is worth noticing for how its ornate architecture contrasts with the working trade carried on below.
