Between 1890 and 1960, North 16th Street was a vibrant, dynamic residential and commercial strip packed with businesses and huge apartments, along with massive houses and more. One business was called the New Market.
The New Market was located at North 16th and Charles Streets. An open air market from 1905 to 1930, it was enclosed and became White’s Grocery in 1939, staying open into the 1960s.
The building was demolished in the 1960s.
