The entrance here leads to an automobile parking floor at Center Market, a sign of how the market adapted as cars replaced the wagons and horses that once filled its surroundings. Center Market stood in downtown Washington, D.C., where farmers and local merchants sold produce, meat, and dairy under one great roof for decades. Its parking facilities reflect the early automobile age, when shoppers increasingly drove to the city center. The market was demolished in 1931 to make way for the Federal Triangle complex, so images like this one now document a vanished part of the capital's commercial life.
