This Day in Boston History
April 27th, 1825
Quincy Market
|
On this day the
cornerstone for Quincy Market was laid. Faneuil
Hall had been Boston's central food market for four generations,
and its expanded 14,000 square feet of space no longer was sufficient.
Quincy Market added almost 50,000 additional square feet of market and
created the opportunity to revitalize part of the city's center.
