• The Eastern Market
  Traveling down to Detroit "the narrow", Antoine de la Mathe Cadillac establised a fur trading post at Fort Ponchartrain. An unfortunate fire torches Detroit in 1805 and it is rebuilt by 1843 constructing the first vegetable market shed behind Old City Hall. Later a more permanent structure is built after it is blown down in 1890. Developement continues in 1921 and an incinerator, garage, public horse barn, and shops are added at Adelaide and Market Streets. Adding to the continuous expansion, sheds 4 & 5 are constructed on the House of Corrections site. During the closure of the Western Market, shed 6 was contructed to house displaced farmers. By 1977, the Eastern Market is declared an historic area after 140 years of business. Today Eastern Market promotes the economic vitality and advancement of farm fresh fruits and vegetables at great prices.
