Title	Nashville City Market House 1935 - 1957
Corporate name	Nashville City Market House
Topical entry	City government Capital City
Geographic entry	Nashville (Tenn.)
Description	Property was acquired by the City of Nashville on the north side of the Public Square as a building site for a new City Market House in September of 1935. Plans for the new building were submitted by architect Henry C. Hibbs. Upon approval of Hibbs's design, the engineering firm Foster and Creighton was awarded the construction contract in the fall of 1935. (1) Demolition of existing buildings began the process of preparing the site for a new building. (2) The framework of the market house dome appears to be nearly complete in this October 1936 photograph. To the right of the dome, the construction of the new Davidson County Courthouse can be seen in this view. (3) With the building nearing completion, workers concentrate on the dome that sits atop the center of the structure. (4) An interior view looking north into the building, dated December of 1936, shows the concrete framework and exposed brick outer walls. (5) Just 3 months later, a northerly view shows the newly completed interior. (6) A similar view of the south end of the building shows the front, center entrance. (7) Market trucks and delivery vans are doubled-parked in the street in front of the market house, while several gentlemen linger near the entrance to the Market House CafÃ© located at the west end of the building. (8) An apron-wearing, market house employee stands near the front entrance in this ca. 1954 photograph. 8 x 10 in.
