"....."The City of Cincinnati" owns Findlay Market. It is built on land donated to the city in 1851 by the estate of General James Findlay for the specific purpose of providing space for a public market. The market is managed by a private non-profit organization, "The Corporation for Findlay Market".
Findlay Market was built in 1852, opened for business in 1855, and is on the "National Register of Historic Places". The original structure was an open-sided shed with an iron frame. Around 1912, the center tower was constructed, the market house was walled in and plumbing was introduced. The market house was extensively renovated in 1973 and 1974. It was renovated again and expanded between 2002 and 2004. Most of the original cast and wrought iron frame has been preserved. You can become a Findlay Market merchant or vendor by contacting "Become a Merchant" or call the "The Corporation for Findlay Market" at 513-665-4839 and participate in a very powerful and unique historic setting in the City of Cincinnati. Findlay Market is located at 1801 Race Street in downtown Cincinnati near Over-the-Rhine....
