Interior of the Municipal Market

The Municipal Market was a public market building constructed in the 1920s on the southwest corner of 23rd Street and 3rd Avenue North . It operated as a public market for the remainder of the decade, but was vacant before January 1935, at which time it was under consideration as a site for a new National Guard Armory. It housed Whitton's Auto Service Co. garage in the early 1940s. The building was extensively altered and expanded as the Red Cross Building in 1946.
