A working drawing of a new market hall, not a photograph of one, shows how city planners and architects pictured the Washington Market in lower Manhattan. For well over a century, the market was the city's central hub for wholesale produce, meat, and fish, with wagons, carts, and merchants packing the surrounding streets before dawn. Drawings like this one reveal how the builders intended the space to handle that daily crush of goods and traffic, and the site was later largely cleared for redevelopment.
