Southern Market
100 South Queen Street

Built in the Queen Anne style in 1888, this large, richly detailed markethouse is an early work by architect C. Emlen Urban, designed when he was only 25 years old. With a width of 90 feet and a length of 250 feet, this large building is spanned by an arched roof. The corner towers have pyramidal roofs with dormer windows. The date "1888" appears in terra cotta within the center pediment, flanked by round medallions containing the heads of a bull and ram -- appropriate ornamentation for a former farmers' market.

[Now housing the Visitors Bureau, offices, and Council Chambers, the building is open during business hours, and in the evening during City Council meetings, held on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month.]
