Eastern Market - 1873 market house installation and restoration

Eastern Market’s 1873 brick market house on Capitol Hill is a long-running public marketplace that houses daily vendors, weekend arts-and-crafts markets, and permanent food stalls. A major fire in 2007 severely damaged the historic building; it underwent structural restoration and reopened to the public in 2009 with conserved historic fabric integrated into the rebuilt market-house installation. The market is an active municipal market managed by the District of Columbia and remains a documented example of 19th-century market architecture adapted for contemporary use.
